Hello @klsteffes and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Thank you for sharing a little about yourself and your plans for your upcoming spinal fusion. I am sure your are concerned about your ability to return to your normal activities post-operation and I am glad you found this community to help support you on your journey.

I see that @jamaz has already responded to your request to connect to learn more. That said, can you share what type of activities you are hoping to be able to return to?
