Joanne's back fusion operation of November 9, 2009 was only partially successful. The upper part of the fusion is solid. Unfortunately the lower part, in the sacroiliac, the screws did not hold. The effect of this has been constant, severe and increasing pain.
After several consultations and much thought and prayer Joanne has opted for restorative surgery to re-anchor the screws. The surgery is scheduled for March 7, at Abbott Northwestern Hospital...same surgeon, same hospital.
To keep family and friends posted on her progress she has reactivated her Caringbridge page which gives more information. I will keep it up to date during and after surgery until such time as she is ready to self report. To access her page go to www.caringbridge.org/visit/jnegstad
