Hi!
I am so happy that you are doing so well.
I had an X-Lift Fusion (I don't know if this is different) on L3-4 in October.
It took me 4 months to re-cooperate!
It was the worst pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
However, now I am pain free for the first time in over a decade.
I, too, would do it all over again!

I am glad you reminded everyone about BLT!
So many people will go right back to doing everything the way they did before surgery and then complain that the surgery was not a success.
I MY experience (I also had C5-6 replaced 6 months earlier) that once you have any kind of spine surgery, you have to CONTINUE to follow BLT!!!!!
Once you have back surgery, it takes at least a year for it to completely heal and even then, it might not be as strong as it once was.

BTW.....I am sure you know that it is not unusual for your BS and BP to go haywire when you are in pain and taking all sorts of meds. I hope the rehab is taking all that into consideration when giving you your meds.

I wish you continued luck in your healing.....
