T10 to Pelvis Fusion. Experience, Comments Appreciated

I just don’t know what to feel anymore. I’m 62 and in January I will be getting fused from my pelvic to T9 due to a previous failed surgery. The worst part of my present condition is my posture. It actually hurts. I can’t walk, or do anything that involves my back and legs, but my back pain isn’t that bad. Sometimes it can be bad, but I’ve learned to live with it, but I can’t learn to live with a posture like Quasimodo! And worst part, women don’t want to date a bent man! lol

@jksawyers the surgery immediately straightened me! Not an easy recovery, but I’m just now 11 months post-op and I’m doing so well.
And just like Nadine said, if nothing is done, it just gets worse and worse as time goes by with gravity, etc. That was also what my surgeon told me and what kicked me in gear to get it done ASAP.
Best, Sherry

In my opinion, if you don't do surgery your back will progressly get worse. 😞
With the surgery, you should be able to do much more than you do now.
