With my back problem I cannot walk or do exercise,except for my neck. I am going to have a big surgery at Mayo for my low back. I have degeneration that has caused a scoliosis and 4, 5, and S-1 has stenosis. I'm in pain every day and have to wait till they open up elective surgeries, which the governor has to decide. The Covid-19 will hold my surgery back. Right now I'm injecting Tymlos everyday to increase my bone mass. I will have to continue after surgery up to two years.Can't wait till I can start walking after the surgery. I have gained 10 lb's from not being active. I was only 112 lbs before, now I'm 121 and 1'2. So Becky I will let you know when I have my surgery, but it won't be until after May 13th. I did hear from my surgeons assistant yesterday and he was going to confer with the surgeon to plan out my surgery, so when they open elective surgery I can get in sooner.
