Frown repost from 16 hour surgery below, Help please

Hi again, my surgery was on the 22nd, I have had past lag and mid torso problem that developed very fast into complete numbness from the knees down, and burning and tingling legs and mid torso lack of feeling, WELL that's seems to be all gone down, I had a 6 level Thoracic 1-6 laminectomy decompression of the spine with hardware, I have 15 screws in my back and metal rods of course. But here is the *****... I now after surgery have almost 0 use of my hand and arms, They say it is from nerve inflammation/compression from my weight, and being on the table so damn long. I sure would have never saw this coming!!! you would think they would be better prepared to move me, Yes i am heavy, But I really feel like precautions should have been taken so I was not in the same spot so long. on the padded bars of the back table. I am totally freaked out, and scared to death. I have OT and PT coming over 2 times a week each, I cannot yet walk I guess it's the learning curve??? everybody is telling me that it is only temporary, My surgery was on the 22nd July this year, There has been some improvements I will say, But the nerve pain in my hand is almost unbearable, I cannot grip anything! hold anything! use the bathroom by myself, feed myself, etc.... Please can someone who has been though this or has had similar experience reply??? I go in with leg problems only! and come out like this. I just dont get it and I am scared. Thank you all. Shari
