Default Going in for another surgery Thurs. 3/25

Would appreciate your prayers as I'm going in for another cervical fusion. They'll be redoing the previous one at C6-7 as it didn't heal right and they think it's moving, and will also be doing a fusion at C7-T1. So, if away for a while you'll understand why.

Will be interesting to see after the recovery time has passed if I still need the cervical SCS. Will still have to use my lumbar SCS but hoping to be able to go down to one and do away with the "twins".

Biggest problem I've been running into is not being able to get an MRI. Therfore my surgeon doesn't have as good of an idea of what he's going to find when he goes in to do the surgery. They did a cervical myelogram but he says they don't show as much detail as an MRI. I think that if the day ever comes when both cervical and lumbar SCS's are not needed anymore I will have them removed, simply so I can get future MRI's.

Thanks for your prayers!
