confusing things happening

[Guest guest]

Hi well I am not sure the surgery will go off as planned wed, it

maybe postponed a little bit. The reason being I was talking to a

nurse at the hospital fri about going in for my pre-op test today.

And she started reading what the dr had put down he was going to do.

She got part of the way thru it and I said " HUH?????? thats not

right!!!!!!!!!!! " she read some more and I knew I had to talk to my

surgeon asap. I called his office and of course was told " he will see

you before surgery " and I said NOT SOON enough. So I called back

today and he was in surgery, his office is by the hospital so if he

was in I was going to go over and talk to him today, no such luck.

SO I told his office " I HAVE to talk to him tomorrow because there

are things about this surgery that are different than what he and I

talked about and I want answered BEFORE the day of surgery OR we

will put it off!! " So will see if he actually calls me tomorrow or

not. THe reason I am upset it the orders say he was going to do a

fusion from L3 -L4 and from L4- L5 which is NOT what he told me when

I was in his office. He told me from L4-L5 and L5-S1 . Also the

nurse told me there was NO mention of him doing anything at S1 at

all. It may have been he was planning on doing a disectomy there but

heck he already tried a lamectomy and it failed real fast why bother

doing something similiar. Also there is a herniation on the right

side there which is causing me new pain in my right leg which it

said he would remove. But L1, L2 and L3 all have had small bulges

for the last 5 yrs and the last test I had said the same thing so I

don't know why the heck he would do a fusion there when my sciatic

problems have always been at L5 S1 and I knew that L4 -L5 was

getting worse that there needed to be fused. But I just don't get

it. I have had this niggling feeling that I needed to check on this

BEFORE my surgery. Sure glad I listened and did or else I'd have

gone in there and he'd have played god again with my back against my

wishes and I am afraid that my sciatic problems would not be solved

and the pain would not be gone. I just don't get it at all, it is

stressing me out totally not knowing what is going to happen now.

Here I was so close to thinking my problems would be solved and now

I feel like it may not even start to happen. SO disappointed but I

should have known NOT To totally trust a dr, I know better but I

thought we had talked everything out and had it all figured out. WHy

he would change it and not bother to tell me I don't know. Cause

there is NO way given all my test what is is talking about will

work, it is doomed to fail from the start. So now I have to wait

till Tues and se IF he bothers to call or not. I know he'd muh

rather do what he wnats and No thave me aske ?? what a mess. I

don't know IF I willl enen be going in the Wed or not. If not I am

sure people will want to kill me but its MY baac I tell them. just

so messed up, feel so disappointed now Sharon group OWner
