I am in Alfred Hospital being looked after by Dr chan as i had a fall. First decision made was placing rods to my back. Although it was the best thing to do for my condition. However after a long good review and meeting with other great doctors. He has come to a conclusion that the operation for me having rods was too risky instead i am going to be given a back brace. This is why there are great doctors like him around. Plus Dr Chan was going to operate on my back personally not many do that. I knew i was safe
I am so glad great doctors continue to work at Alfred Hospital. Even through covid-19 he was going to operate. To save my discs to slip forward and stopping me from being paralyzed..I just want to send a big thank you To Dr Chan and his team. I must say was very concerned about the operation due to my illness age and footdrop.I knew it was major and that i cluld not cope with rods and the pain that goes with it. I was very concerned about my recuperating time. The staff at Sandringham Hospital whom i was first taken to as an emergency Had great Doctors Nurses and even students were awesome and experienced.I was looked after like a queen. I was then transferred to Alfred the staff here is excellent they made sure i was comfortable they were awesome 24 hours caring for me. As i had to lie flat was not allowed to get up for anything. I am still here at Alfred hospital..
To all of you at both hospitals that had anything to do on my progress recovery I appreciate it and relieved at the same time.Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am so happy as wait for my back brace and a new foot drop AFO. One nurse I must thank alot is Nurse Rennay who put up with my tears trying to make me understand the consequences of getting up her continuous checking up on me being very patient with my bed pan use. Hats off to all the night nurses as well All the other nurses who rolled me over. The students are so vibrant, lovely and caring...If it wasn't for the qualified experienced nurses they would have no experience they are so lucky to learn from the best.
This is why i donate to Alfred hospital and anything to do with science.
However there is new technology out there that i saw on you tube surgeons can use this technique instead of screw and rods. Hopefully the doctors professors MR. all try to bring that technology soon. All the doctors probably know about it anyway
A Big Thank You to all of you.
I am so happy with eveything
