I am new here and am truly blessed to have found a place that knows where others understand. I was in a car acc. 7 yrs ago. I had my cervical fusion with instr. along with my lumbar also fused. I have been in a fog since, do not remember much as i also had head trauma. I am about to have revision posterior anterioron L1-S1. I am terrified, do not know what to expect. In the process my husband died of hep c from a transfusion, i have three young daughters who at the time were 3, 6, and 9. Had it not been for there love and prayers i do not know where i would be today. So should anyone want to share, i would be so grateful. My girls and i have no other family. I will be going to the Rothman inst. same dr. Alexander Vaccaro, a man with BLESSED hands. You all have so much knowledge! I am in the dark as i said i am just in the last two yrs coming aware of whats happeningThank you and BLESSINGS to all!!

Wow, anglwing. That's incredible what you've been through physically and emotionally. So sorry, but proud of you and your girls for pulling through.

Amazing that you can sit and use the computer. So glad you found us. If you need a cyberfamily, this is the place to be. Notice I did not say "virtual" family. We are real and we really care about you.

Just curious, where do you live?

Feel free to jump in anywhere and make yourself right at home. We value your input. Hugs to you!

Yes it is incredible how much I am blessed through it all and their is not one day that goes by that i do not thank my God for keeping my children and I together and strong. I live in NJ. I pray that anyone that can shed some light on what i have to look forward to would do so. In prayer as always , Anglwing
