Hi everyone. I want to thank kiwimike and abbygirl312 for all their posts of encouragement to others. This is the first time I have not read posts that made me want to faint.
On the 18th I am going to have a bi-level fusion L4-L5-S1. I have had reoccurent foot drop and intense lower back and leg pain/and numbness. I also have three children.
My question is how long do you think it would be before I could lift my three year old? She is 32 pounds and we have always enjoyed lots of hugs and the like. I will have the help of my mother for the first month but after that it will be mostly myself. I am 36. Also any tips would be great. Thanks.
