1 week Post Surgery
It has been a week since Jane had her hip surgery. The day of the surgery, things didn't start out like we planned. As we sat in the pre op room, we met with the doctor and anesthesia team to go over the plan one last time. Jane was supposed to get an epidural in her spine for the surgery. Due to the tumor removal surgery that Jane had when she was a baby, caused complications to the plan. Jane was now possibly; in a high risk of having spinal nerve damage. But they weren't exactly sure. Her tumor surgery was in her lower spine so technically, she should have been fine for the epidural. However she already has some nerve damage to her legs and we just don't know the extend of the damage in those nerves. So we didn't want to take that risk. But we also didn't want Jane to wake up and be in extreme pain. The surgeon really wanted to do the epidural because he was worried how Jane would handle the pain when she'd wake up from the surgery. He has never done this kin
