Dear @Jules and @Isaiah_40_31
I have been to Addenbrookes today for my pre surgery assessment and I have been told that instead of left styloidectomy on the 17th November, I am scheduled for right styloidectomy and resection of the transverse process of the C1 vertebra. I knew that this type of surgery was ‘on the list’, but I had assumed this would be at some point in the future and that the left styloidectomy would be done first. The nurse who did all the pre op tests did not know much about the surgery just that I would stay in hospital for 4/5 days and that I will need some help when I return home as I may not feel well for a while. I am now full of anxiety.
I will E-mail Mr Axons secretary tomorrow and see if I can have some more information, but I thought I would ask you if you knew any forum members who have had this type of surgery and that would be willing to have a chat. I have no idea if I am making plans for help for a few days ( once home from hospital) or for longer. I need to find someone to look after my child and I probably need to get organised with freezer food. I just want to be adequately prepared and not have to worry about things.
I’m feeling a little bit unprepared for the change in plan and a little in the dark. Any information is gratefully received!
Take care
A
