Welcome to Neuro Talk. I hope your husband gets back on track with medications. Often with surgery that is so involved, depression happens. He needs to keep talking to his psych too. I think what happens sometimes, is that after these spinal fusions, we are not who we once were, don't have the same capabailty we had before. Pain and depression kind of go hand in hand. I really hope he continues to seek help, and that he will turn toward you for the support he needs. ginnie
