so I can go home. It's been 28 days, most in hospital and ICU.

Who knows how long it will be here at SNIF before being capable of an acute rehab facility?

I'm frustrated and somewhat overwhelmed by how extensive the 2nd surgery, 6 days after the First was. So much to absorb of what new limitations i'll have forever and what is forever lost.

But I'll manage and get through it. Still, 5 spine surgeries and most of my spine with rods ans screws Is a lot to take in. Being now bionic and frozen by fusion is a big deal.
