I just wanted to add a few things. There is a hair wash, no rinse formula at walgreens. Liquid you just rub in and your hair gets clean. Works great!
I also had a supply of adult wet naps for cleaning those first few days home.
Recovery for everyone is different. I also want you to know there can be a successful outcome with a reduction of pain. This happened for me, and I hope it will happen for you. I did have the domino effect, and had that second fusion. So far I am doing fine. I will keep you in my thoughts. Be good to yourself while you heal. We will all be here to support you. ginnie
