After my pre-op interview, the hospital gave me a bottle of special soap and sent me home. Nobody mentioned I'd need a trash can on my kitchen counter or that my toilet would become my worst enemy. I thought BLT was a sandwich!
I'm Ernie - US Marine, former police officer and spinal fusion survivor. After my back was broken in two places, I went through double lumbar fusion surgery. The medical team was excellent at the surgery part. The 'how to survive at home' part? That's where they left me hanging.
So I took notes. Detailed notes. About everything they DIDN'T tell me. My prep-book will help you to get ready for your surgery.
