my interview with a spine surgeon take two; part 1

Current Mood:Alarmed emoticon Alarmed & Angry emoticon Angry & Sad emoticon Sad

While I do not know exactly where to begin. I know I’m pissed off, angry, depressed, anxious, sad, happy and scared. Certainly not in that or any relative order. Having now interviewed two surgeons, I’ve come away this time with a higher level of comfort with this second individual. Not to say that the first individual I deal with earlier this year was any better or worse, they both were highly recommended by my PTP, another Doctor whom I trust.

Having now said how I feel, I guess I should just try and say what’s on my mind.

The interview/evaluation was OK, for lack of better words. I’m definitely hesitating when it comes to this, but I should just say it. The surgeon told me, briefly, that some of the problems/symptoms I have with my body are fixable via neck surgery. My lower back, the which encompasses the biggest issues are not.

That’s all I really feel like writing now, I’ll add more regarding this all later, tagged spine surgeon when I feel up to it.
