My wife ws transported to a skilled nursing/rehabilitive facility to be evaluated to see if she will need any PT or OT due to her spinal operatiion.
This morning the Doctor came in smiling saying that all of my wife's vital signs were stabilized and with obvious satisfaction that my wife's operation ranked as one of the largest that could be done at one time and "it was done without blood!"

Her expected stay at the skilled nursing facility will be 3-4 days and maybe longer if any problems become apparent during the pre admissive exam. However both PT and OT doctors at Memorial Hermann gave her more than three evaluations and agreed that she was healthy enough to be transferred to the nursing facility. She did not appear to have any post op problems. She continues to be in a somewhat weaken condition but it is the opinion of the doctors that she will continue healing and will not have any problems.
