So you have a new spine all titanium. I didn't know that type of procedure existed. My surgery consisted of two rods and 18 screws. I really don't think I will be able to bend, twist or lift anymore because of the length and where those rods and screws are. It's been almost a year this coming April 25, and I am still wearing a brace and can't sit in a bath, or wipe my behind without the help of aides I purchased online. The pain is gone but I am still a work in process. That neurosurgeon you had sounded like something I would have considered if I knew I had another option. Thanks for sharing and I wish you the best

Thank you for sharing. I will be having a similar surgery next month.

My doctor's recommended that I get a bidet as I will never be able to wipe without the aides. We purchased the Toto Washlet S7A Bidet Seat WITH AUTO FLUSH. It can be installed on a regular toilet. I love it, all sorts of settings to get you clean. Also, since I can't bend to flush now, and will not be able to do so in the future, we got one with Auto Flush. I love it and it makes my life so much easier. Our plumber was able to purchase it through his supplier at a lower price than the retail stores that sell Toto products.
Good luck as you continue to recover.🙏🙏🙏🙏
