The op tomorrow, at 1pm, is to make good the stuff that’s fallen apart, by fixing new metal above and below the part that’s come loose.
He’s going even lower, to my pelvis.

I’ll have a scar right from my A hole to my neck.

The next op will then be to ‘ shore up’ my disintegrating L2 and L3 vertebrae.
Both long op’s …with anticipated long recovery times…
