hey… I am an Iowa girl and active in my ISU alum club here in the DC area. Appreciate your sharing your journey. I considered coming home to Iowa to be near my son but decided to be here is best.
May I ask who your surgeon was/is? Tam

Dr. Pugley. I was referred to him by my surgeon who performed my first fusion in 2005. My first surgery was a fairly common L4,5, S1. Two small rods and 5 screws. Recovery was maybe 6 weeks before I was moving fairly well. Healing time still takes a year before everything is locked in good.
