Tales from the Cripped

Cadaver FootI'm gonna have dead people in me.
Well, not full dead people. Just some of their bones.
All ground up.

The Botox injections haven't worked, so, although I'm still going to go for the second round next week just to be sure, I'm now planning to do the invasive traction trial in August.

Gardner-Wells TongsIf I get relief from that (which my nsg is convinced I will, and, really, what about having pins stuck in your head and then yanked up by counterweight doesn't scream relief?), then I'll have the craniocervical fusion in December.

In all of the discussions about the fusion in the past, my neurosurgeons focused on the instrumentation part (where they'll use bars and screws to attach my occiput (skull) and first four vertebrae together. Finally, at my appointment on Friday, I asked, "Is there a bone graft done with this too?" I figured there must be, but no one had ever mentioned it. "Yup." And, where will that bone come from? (Mostly, I was just scared that the answer would be, "From you." And, really, my hips are unhappy enough in their virgin state. They don't need to be donating to other parts of me). Nope. Cadaver bone.

The Cryptkeeper Cripped-keeper I'm gonna have dead people in my head and neck. How cool is that?

I hope they're good dead people. Like, I don't think I'd want any ground-up serial killer sealing up my spine.


Plush CowI missed out on getting to have cow in my head due to my very conservative decompression, but I think having dead people has even more cache.

? Why, Turtle? I got the original comment via e-mail, and it was so nice. Thank you. Seriously, I was so flattered. I'm still smiling. Even if no one else gets to see it.

(Of course, maybe I *did* misinterpret, and it really meant, "Take this crap offline, you losah").

Eliza, where do you think these doctors dream this stuff up? That traction device looks like some kind of torture device! I hope it works though.
If you do end up having the fusion though you should ask your surgeon about BMPII (bone morphogenic protein 2). It accellerates the fusion of the bone more then tenfold; all other problems aside my bone growth was really impressive. I didn't have the cadaver bone for my lower spine fusion, but my aunt had a cervical fusion with cadaver a few years ago and she JOGS now! Hope the traction thingy works though.
Best of luck.

The fusion sounds less "fun" than functional, but I hope it goes well...as for the bits of dead people bone...I agree as long as they didn't have a criminal record...whyinheck not?

I had this after my spinal cord injury...only hours after emergency room. It looks crazy. Hope it works for you.
