sassytwo, this was Dec 2, 2023 where are you at now ?

I was just talking to Dr McClendon and he said I need a T4 to L4 L5 full open fusion possibly a vertebral resection wont know until he's in there doing it ? I'm 69 now and very active I want to go to Italy & Spain but would rather go without pain. Local trips N Calif fly fishing but cant stand for any length of time? I could ride my Harley and be more comfortable on it then at my home! Don't know if I should just move forward with it or do it little by little ?
