Timeline, expectations on healing, quality of life after long fusion?

Thanks Calo for your response. I think we need to start being more honest with others who are facing surgery. There are alternatives but doctors get paid a lot of money to do these big, long fusions. So they’re reluctant to steer you away. And now with DEI and other government influences, I don’t believe everybody who’s doing these surgeries are necessarily qualified. I’m angry. My surgery has ruined my life at present. I pray that it changes but for now I’m angry. I will pray that things change for you. By the way I think you look great in your photo, I don’t think you aged 10 years at all, you actually look quite young!

Thanks, Jack, for your kind response. I agree that the changes to DEI will place us in a worse position than before. Diversity has always been our country’s strength, bringing new ideas and broadening friendships and understanding that make us better than we ever could have imagined.
Praying for you; for both of us that we can arrive at acceptance of our new normal.

@jksawyers No doubt it is very easy to fall in to anger when something changes our life and not for the best…..so it often appears. For me, and hopefully others, our faith that everything is designed and for a better reason, helps, and is more often than not, not understood except in retrospect. It totally sucks no doubt about that! For the suffering, faith is a must, or a pretty miserable life. Our spiritual abilities are very powerful! Blessing to us all!
