Just recieved a copy of the letter sent to my GP and pain clinic practictioner. Not sure if I was supposed to, but got one anyway!
It just explains that Ive chosen to the have the op, A lumbar spine fusion of L5-S1 with a pedicle screw rod fixation and bone grafting. Got a ring to it hasnt it! :-D Thats in addition to the L5/S1 discectomy of course!
It then goes on to detail all the things that might go wrong, a jolly old list involving wound infection through to loss of bladder control and paralysis. Bad times.
Still no word of the actual date, I guess they will tell me after the Pre op assesment thingy on the 13th...
