I was looking up complications concerning my upcoming anterior and posterior fusion of c3-7 using rods and screws. Needless to say I'm freaking out My name is Rachel and I'm here on the spirituality thread because this upcoming surgery (and the pain associated) is draining my energy. To everyone close around me I am strong and confident but my insides are shaking in fear. I'm scared. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers this week. I also have bipolar illness and anxiety disorder.... Thankfully my medication is working well right now. I have to get this surgery to try to reverse the damage that has already been done to my spinal cord, and I think that I chose a great surgeon... So I feel confident in his abilities... Its just the what if`s. Thanks for reading my post and please don't hesitate to share thoughts, feelings, quotes, anything.... I need gazoodles of strength spiritually, physically, emotionally, and mentally.
