Hi,
This week will be a month post-op for my daughter's double fusion. She is doing well just some pain in her shoulder blades mostly. She doesn't want to go anywhere or do much of anything yet though. She still is afraid to take a shower on her own and I have to make her go outside for walks. The surgeon said let her go at her own pace but I'm worried I'm not pushing enough. I don't want her to just lay around and watch tv all day but I don't want to wear her out either. I know some of the kids that have had double fusions are back to school in like 5-6 weeks so she seems to be slower than some. She also still fights wearing her brace. Complains that her back hurts worse with it. I make her wear it when she is up and around which makes me wonder if that is why she doesn't want to go out or do anything. She knows that means wearing the brace so she ops out. For those of you who have had the double fusions, how long did it take you to get back to activities, trips out, etc? Thanks, I'd just like some comparisons.
