Sorry to read that you are one of those that have major problems after surgery.
I am presuming you have been offered further surgery to try and replace or fix the broken Harrington rod.
you must be in so much pain that really it would be hard to refuse surgery.
Wishing you all the best

@chantalmatsushigeregis boy that's a interesting and very long name. lol. Once I realized I was goin have to have surgery on my back my first trip back to the surgeon I had to take 2 Ativan to keep my from turning around and coming home. I did a lot of praying asking for the courage to get through the surgery and God was there for me. Hang in there it will get easier.
Thank. You. Yes. Going. To. Have. Surgery. Is. Scary. Glad. Everything. Went. Well. With. You.
