I am 30 days post surgery TODAY !!!
I had a T9 thru L5 with removal and replacement of L3 L4 & L4 L5 fusion and I am walking unassisted. I push to get 1K steps a day and I have a goal of 5K steps. There have been setbacks and disappointments' but that's part of healing.

The pain from the spine curve and rotation prior to surgery is all but gone I still deal with pain from the surgery and the rotation in my trunk area. I am so happy to say "MY SPINE IS STRAIGHT and POSTURE IS BETTER THAN EVER ! ! ! 😁
Looking forward to doing some fly fishing this year!
Thanks to my two amazing surgeons ~
Dr. Jamal McClendon & Dr. Chandan Krishna M.D.
THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME MY LIFE BACK💕
Sincerely Robert
