Is there been a update on Toni?
I have wondered all day long how his surgery was going and if they were able to do anything to give him some relief. To all those that pray ,please add a extra prayer for Toni, his surgeons and his family. The guy sure could use a break and be given some good news. I read his post at times and they can make me cry. So if anyone has a update please share or PM me
Thanks
Susan

He wont know for a while how much surgery has helped i am sure, Not untill the healing is all done, But yes hope they help him and he finaly gets beter,
L4 L5 disc replacement in 2004=causing nerve damage'Flexicore disc. 2006 fusion same level leaving adr in. Fusion did nothing to releive the nerve pain.Pain clinic=every injection procedure avalable inc,razadamy, ablation, nerve stimulater trial,morphine pump trial all failed. Pain can be described as burning pain in lower spine penetrating in to left buttock,down left leg. Refuse to take lyrica or nuorontin do to its side effect,Leaving me with norco,valume,and flexiril at night.Which these medications only help with the muscle aches and stiffnes does nothing for the nerve pain from the nerve damage sustained from the adr surgery.Coming up nov.19th 2009 Lami, and hardware removal from fusion,for hardware just causing more pain in other areas.Hardware block comfirmed hardware is also causing pain in diferent area aside from the severe nerve pain on left side.Emg showed some posible problem above surgery are at L3 L4.
I'd also like to know how he is and that everything went o.k.
I expect that his wife Kath is at the hospital with him and when she gets home she is probably very tired.
Hopefully we will hear soon that all went to plan and that his is fairly comfortable.
He has a lot of friends here who are wishing him well (and praying if they do), and it will be great to get some news.
Grade 2 spondylolisthesis causing severe stenosis + DDD
L4/L5 decompression (laminectomy) and PLIF 19th March 2010
Herniations at T12/L1, T9/T10 and T8/T9 (mildly indenting cord)
Significant cervical spondylosis from C3-C7
C3/C4 and C4/C5 are compressing the cord (mild to moderate)
Been referred to a neurologist to rule out MS
I'm also looking forward to finding out how he is. That poor guy has been through enough already, and as Alex said, due to the usual postop pain he won't know for a while if the operation helped.
