Yes, I would like to know, too, how old you are? I am 71. And, where did you have your surgery and the surgeon? I'm on the fence about spinal fusion from T-10 to my pelvis. Several neurosurgeons say don't do it unless you are having a lot of pain, so much so you'd rather die. I really do not have pain, per se, I just am no longer able to walk any distance without a grocery cart, etc. And I heard that the morbidity rate is 30% (not mortality, morbidity) so that was discouraging. Thanks.
