Here is the xray of Deb’s back showing her new and permanent hardware. The rods and screws are designed to support the vertebrae that broke and keep it in place while her muscle and tissues repair. The screws are nearly 2 inches long and the rods about 3-4 four inches. Not too much else to say about the hardware. It is great that technology and medicine can do this, but also it is sad to think she has to have this in her for the rest of her life. Clearly we are very thankful that there was no spinal cord damage, but still sad that it happened in the first place. Nothing we can do about it but move forward with as positive an attitude as we can.
