@orloffjr I’m 59 and felt as though I was in the best shape physically to endure and recover from a complex surgery. It is such a difficult decision, especially with outcomes not being certain. Praying for you to have wise counsel and confidence in your decision.

Hello Karen,
Thank you very much for the prompt reply. I am doing PT and walking as able to prepare for surgery. This will be the 10th spine surgery for me but will be the biggest yet on the lumbar. I am anticipating I will have greater mobility and be able to get off the narcotic and Gabapentin I've been on for 8 years. I do have a choice of excellent surgeons so I am confident in that regard. Thank you for the prayer and encouragement!
