Re: Laminectomy with Pedicle Screws Fixation and Posterior Interbody Fusion L4/L5 & L5/S1 with Allograft Jan,
I'm so sorry your surgery was canceled. That was my biggest fear going into surgery, was that something was going to happen and I wouldn't get the surgery. It wasn't real to me until I woke up in recovery. I hope that the insurance gives approval soon and you get your surgery in the near future.

It's funny, but I had thought to myself several days before I got the "bad news", I won't really believe this whole thing until I walk into the hospital and then lights out as they wheel me in for the surgery.
I am hopeful or at least sound like I am, that it was the secretary's mess up and that BC will give the green light by Friday. Fingers and toes are crossed.
Thanks for your support
