Just want to let everyone know that Carrie is out of surgery, and we have seen her. It took an hour and 15 minutes less than what it was scheduled for. She seems to be doing OK. I haven’t seen any of the surgeons yet, other than passing in the hall, so I can’t say everything went well. But I am assuming that since no-one was too eager to come find us, there were no major problems.
They went in through the front to remove the old artificial disk, and do the majority of the fusion. They then flipped her over to remove the screws from a previous surgery, put new ones in, along with a rod to stabilize the area. If you would have combined the two, you probably could have seen daylight through her. She was in quite a bit of pain when she came into the recovery unit (for some reason). They seem to have a handle on that though.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that things continue to go well.
