Default Another surgery

I actually have to have a surgery on the battery. I thought it was just turning sideways due to not being scarred in. Unfortunately, it is filled with fluid that is hopefully just what's called a seroma. If that is a case, they will drain it, wash it out, and tack it down again. If it's an infection, I may wind up having to have the whole unit taken out and installed later. Obviously we are hoping for best case. Anyway, my dr. said my body seems to want to reject the cervical scs. It didn't the thoracic. Very strange. Hopefully, it will behave itself and all will be well after next Wednesday. Hope everyone else is doing well! I am still having the leg weakness and in a wheelchair. Hopefully that will resolve soon, too. Crazy couple of months!!

Hi TK! So sorry that you need to have another surgery. Praying for the best outcome for you. Please keep us posted!

I see my pain dr Friday. He sent me for x-rays of my entire back. Something needs to be done with my thoracic battery (the one protruding and hurting). I don't want another surgery, but fear that I am headed in that direction too

Heart Oh My, Oh mY, oH my

So sad feeling, ya know, realizing friends are having battery/generator problems necessitating more invasion, possible removal, and definitely protracted healing. I hope and pray, hope and pray, seeking intercession, in hopes all will be well.
Prayin,

Awww Nanc, I'm sorry! I was hoping those protruding batteries were just in odd places. I hope everything goes well for you, also!

Thanks everyone! I hope this is the last surgery for a long time!!

Oh TK I am so sorry....you were so excited to do this surgery and it has just been sour from the gate. I am happy they are going in and gettin a look. Eyeball what is going on up close in the real. Get yourself beefed up with nutrition etc...you know the drill.

Default Hi TK

I am sorry you have to go through another surgery. I hope all goes well, and that there are no complications. Be good to yourself. Nobody likes having to go into surgery. Let us know how it goes. ginnie
