Final Appointment with Dr. Hu

Monday October 27th Sandi and I met with Dr. Hu and he gave us the final update as to the procedure for the spinal fusion operation on November 24th. I am extremely anxious to get this operation over with but still a little apprehensive. He reassured us that he has had a lot of success with this procedure and he expects I will recover better than ever. I followed the Dr Hu meeting with an appointment with his physiotherapist Marco Lebrasseur who gave me a set of stretching exercises to do prior to the operation. I will be working with him starting 3-4 weeks after the operation. I also completed all the pre-operation stuff, blood work, chest xray, etc and I am wearing the yellow identification band so no turning back now. Sandi and I are going to Palm Desert on November 4th for two weeks, may as well get a couple of weeks of sun before, as it will be quite some time before we can go back.
