Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 As I've been wearing my TLSO 24/7 since the surgery on March 28, I contacted Dr. Hu today to ask her if I could possibly have a break from it as things are going so well. She replied that I should continue to go slow for the next month, and then we'll see. WAAAAAAAAA ~CA ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Gee , The surgeons are all so different, my surgery was April 24, 25 I do not wear the brace when sleeping, showering, relaxing as in a recliner watching a movie or while resting on the couch. Your surgeon will not let you breathe without it. I'm sorry. I can not get over the uniqueness of surgeons that do the same type of surgery. Heck, two surgeons doing the same surgery, in the same hosp, will have entirely different approaches. I don't get it. I hope you get a break soon. > > As I've been wearing my TLSO 24/7 since the surgery on March 28, I > contacted Dr. Hu today to ask her if I could possibly have a break > from it as things are going so well.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Hi - Don't misunderstand Dr. Hu - her normal approach with people wearing the TLSO after her surgery is just as you describe. However, I've had so many surgeries followed by so many different problems that she decided to try and see if wearing it full time would be any different. She's a very smart cookie, so I actually don't mind following her orders. :-) We've both had our surgeries right around the same time - how are you doing? Was this your first revision? I apologize for not knowing, but I've been " out of the loop " , having just returned from the hospital this past Saturday. I hope you are doing well! Love....

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Hi ... is restricted because she was a bad girl. ;-) Dr. Hu normally only puts her patients in a post-op brace for about 3 mos. and only when the patient is up and about.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Hi , I was among the some that sent cards after your hardship. It is good to see you recovering nicely. Yes, it is my first and hopefully last revision, done at Beth Isreal in Boston under the fine hands of Dr Glazer. I have a fusion now that goes from the top of T to the sacrum and a titanium rod to support it. > > > > > > As I've been wearing my TLSO 24/7 since the surgery on March 28, > I > > > contacted Dr. Hu today to ask her if I could possibly have a > break > > > from it as things are going so well.
