#Spine surgery

[wheelingwithgrace]

Being a young person with a disability not commonly seen at your age sucks that much more because on the way hand, you have everyday people in your life telling you you're too young and you have doctors telling you your to young and refusing specific treatments (i.e. surgeries and stuff)

In my case I have a fucked up back, least I can put it. Some of it, including osteoarthritis. Surgeons refuse to operate on me because of my age. They say they don't want to operate on a young adults spine.

Don't get me wrong, I don't blame them for not wanting to potentially fuck up the rest of my life - but also I think that should be my choice. I'm genetically predisposed to back issues. I don't doubt that when I'm older, I'm likely going to need surgery anyway.

The fact that they want to go ahead with burning my nerves, which can have their own set of complications, but I can't make informed decisions about other available treatment options?

Perks of being a young disabled person? Am I alone in this?

After the surgery!

Hello everyone, good news! The surgery was a success and I'm lucky to not feel any pain as for now, I got a lot of rest and even a whole room for myself too :D

Now I'll start rambling about things!

The nurses here are amazing and I even met a few cool and memorable ones.

Like a Swedish woman who's super nice and a funny guy nurse (we love guy nurses!) that helped me stand up for the first time after my back surgery. I felt very dizzy but I didn't pass out 😵‍💫

He had a fun humor tho that I easily got along with! When he gave me my name tag that I put around me wrist, I didn't realize he had switched it out as a joke until I was preparing myself for a shower.

Now it makes sense why he said "here's an extra wrist band you can keep as a suvenier"

That suvenier was my actual wrist band! I'm so neurodivergent I swear- sometimes I don't understand the jokes 😂

But anyways, since I'm 18 now and count as an adult I've sadly been alone at the hospital, it's my first time too. But that's alright honestly because there needs to be a first time to everything!

And that right now is me not depending on my parents like I've always done! Same goes for others out there going through this, you're safe and sound at the hospital even if your caretakers aren't there with you!

I feel very proud of myself for just jumping into this second surgery and get it over with, not being as afraid like I was the first time.

Of course it was still differicult for me, the whole week before I went in I felt quite depressed and upset that there was a problem with my back once more.

But than again when you've done something once, the other times won't really be that bad, especially when you know and understand what youre going to do!

I'll admit before the surgery I was very nervous and did break down a little in tears when I first got into the surgery room.

Last time my mother had been there to comfort me but now it was the doctors who comforted me, I truly appreciate it.

These people know what they're doing!

I feel asleep just fine when they gave me a mask to breathe in some funky gas!

But I think when everything went dark I hallucinated for a quick second a weird green living room with a big bookshelf and a nice chair?? 🤨

But besides from that weird experience, when I woke up again and my parents did come to visit.

What's funny is that while I my head was fully awake my eyes were apparently swollen so I couldn't see anything, but talk and listen to the conversations.

I'll be honest it kinda sucked when I wanted to see things around me and be on my phone. But my eyes did eventually open up so don't worry haha!

Right now I'm just resting, I've surprisingly slept very well! I'll also have some guests over later today, it's only 9 in the morning right now as I'm writing this!

I'll hopefully update more later on about what's happening right now in life! But yeah yeah, I'll take it easy and rest already.

I can hear you guys already telling me hehe 😼

Important Tips to Follow After Scoliosis Surgery

With scoliosis surgery, the treatment of curved spine has become more efficient than earlier. However, post surgery, it is important to be extra careful and take certain precautions like avoiding heavy lifting activities, proper medications, taking good care of the stitches and more. People who have undergone scoliosis treatment in Ahmedabad are advised to take some preventive measures. This helps them to recover fast and avoid any type of post surgical injury that can happen because of lack of care.

I hate to need to ask, but in struggling quite a bit since my emergency surgery last week.

[mobiusmobiles]

last monday: same horrible pain ive been in for months, can barely walk with the support of my rollator

last tuesday: artificial disc replacement turns into anterior fusion when the space is too small

last wednesday: walk without back pain for the first time since the crash

sunday: get discharged

today: walk a mile and a half, rollator only used for balance, with minimal if any back pain

things dont always get better. but sometimes they do.

A while back I had a Thought: where do doctors get the metal for your spinal fusions from???

This started out with me making a joke about Elon Muskrat profiting off emerald mining and child labor a la his father. But then I wondered, where does the cobalt chrome and titanium in my spine come from??? Is it ethically sourced? Or is my cyborg spine the product of child labor????????

Now I really want to know

Important news‼️

Hello everyone, my followers and friends! I have some news, a while ago back on January 17th I made a similar post to this talking about how I had gone through a huge surgery to fix my scoliosis.

I've had scoliosis for years now, the sad news is..while that surgery was successful! There was something that ended up going lose and now on December 20th and 21th I'll go back into the hospital to fix it.

I don't know how long recovery will take but it won't be as big as the last luckily!!

So hopefully this goes well as the last and I'll be back on my feet with more content!

Types of Spine Surgeries and their Implications

https://healthtrip.com/

Spine surgery is considered when a patient experiences severe neurogenic pain and non-surgical treatments fail to provide relief. It is typically viewed as a last resort after exhausting other options. Initially, patients are advised to incorporate regular physical activity and may receive over-the-counter treatments and anti-inflammatory medication. Non-surgical treatments such as home exercises, medication, physical therapies, and spinal injections are also utilized.

Two main types of spine surgeries are traditional/open spine surgery and minimally invasive spine surgery. Traditional surgery involves complete exposure of the anatomy, while minimally invasive surgery offers limited exposure and faster recovery. The choice between the two depends on the patient's condition and surgical requirements.

Various spine surgeries are available, including laminectomy for spinal stenosis, microdiscectomy for sciatica, and traditional lumbar fusion for spinal instability or degenerative disc disease. Minimally invasive procedures like lateral lumbar interbody fusion and percutaneous instrumentation are also performed.

A skilled spine surgeon should have expertise in both traditional and minimally invasive techniques and possess excellent communication skills to discuss treatment options with patients.

Patients should seek care from reputable healthcare institutions that provide comprehensive spine care and have a team of specialists to address various spinal issues. These institutions may refer patients to expert spine care providers for non-surgical treatments when necessary. know more click here

Little personal update.

February was a very shitty month for me.

I almost died of sepsis. So that was fun.

Also Leo has been having seizures so we’re dealing with that now. We don’t know why and the CT scan he needs to find out why is like $10k so we’re just mitigating it rn. The dream of him becoming a full time service dog is now officially dashed and he e want to just train him to do task work at home now.

Also again I’ve been really sick and almost fucking died so that sucked. Current plan is to finish out this semester, have surgery to get rid of the infection this summer, and I’ll take the fall off to recover.

Anyhow I looked hot for like. Two days this month and here’s the fits.

Fit for goth bowling (which just turned into a little thrifting trip and a stop by Steal N Shake). I was hospitalized with sepsis the next day. Yay for chronic infection and invisible illness.

This one was this week. Accidental farm lesbian look because I got overheated.

Also I will post puppy pictures eventually I just. Have been very ill and have had very little energy.
