I am having laminectomy/fusion work in the T 10/12 area June 12, all in one surgical procedure. I lost most use of my legs about a year ago. I will work at strengthening my legs, a continuation, after surgery. I was told that with the surgery I may be able to strengthen my leg muscles, no chance without surgery. This was the hook to my agreeing to surgery. I am 85, in a wheelchair but well otherwise. Don
