Hi Ginger, thank you for insights & yes, agree wholeheartedly, staying active/moving is one thing we can control when faced with physical & emotional obstacles. I had L4-5 fused successfully with inter-body cages in 1998. No real issues until 2017, a backwards fall coming off a ladder, 4+ years trying EVERYthing to avoid the knife, finally arriving at the point of no options other than fusing T11-L5 with rods & screws. I’m upright, moving & breathing every day 😊 staying positive is also a must; so many folks going through things much, much worse than my daily trials. I do keep an eye on Spine Health as well & thanks again for the warm greetings! rb
