JellyfishJam,
My husband is facing spinal fusion from T-2 through S-1. He is afraid of loosing all mobility, but he is in terrible pain requiring constant pain medication. He has such weekness that he has frequent falls. You are the first person I have found who has had spinal fusion to this degree. Would you be willing to talk with him about the abilities and disabilities following this surgery?
Thank you, Mjrtist
