T10 to Pelvis Fusion. Experience, Comments Appreciated

I had a T10 to Pelvic floor fusion 10 weeks ago and I couldn't be happier with the results. The surgery lasted 9.5 hours and I was in the hospital for 1 week. I am now walking independently without any assistance. My pain score has gone from 10/10 pre op to 4/10 post op. I am doing pool therapy 3 days a week.

My husband is 84 and was very active until the last 5 years. Now he can get around with a walker and can only stand for a short time without one. He is scheduled to have a thoracic 10-pelvis fusion posterior and a lumbar 4-sacral1 anterior interbody fusion the beginning of the year. He is very positive and healthy but I am concerned about his age and the recovery and if the results will really make a difference in his life. Any input from your experioence would be appreciated. Thank you and keep up your good work.

That’s great! Gives me some encouragement. I’m supposed to have a T 10 to pelvis fusion but I’m extremely concerned about loss of mobility post surgery specifically how far I can bend over as in tying my shoes etc. I’m still very active and I don’t want to feel immobilized. Any info would be much appreciated!
