Dr. Mahadeo has come in to give us the pre op talk and game plan. He is a gentle, stout statured man, with a expansive highway of surgical and medical experience behind him and the bedside manner of a God a very stout God.
He has calmly, professionally and practically explained a very, very complex procedure in a way that has left us all feeling confident and totally reassured. Even with the obligatory “worst” case scenarios descriptions we all know that this is right. My dad is exactly where he need to be right now.
This doctor has all of our faith and the knowledge that he has done this surgery over a thousand times before has calmed our wiggly, fraying nerves. I told him he was showing off, I mean it’s not like it’s neurosurgery… Oh wait.
They take him to the Operating Theatre at 1pm today. He is in the best possible hands.
Also Trudy is still ugly.
We’re so sorry to hear about the accident but are really happy that your dad is getting such great care and that the future looks bright. Much love to you and your family – Mindy and Mohsen
He is definitely in the best hands. My husband, Paul, had surgery on his c6 and c7 or 5 and 6 ( can’t remember now) – implants, pins, the works. Hasn’t had a problem since. Have been thinking of you all constantly since I heard. Thanks for sharing the blog, Trudy, and for writing it, Trace. Lots of love – Tash
