Sorry that I have not been here for awhile but I have had a full plate for the last few months. I'm sure that some can relate. I want to ask who knows how long or if and when I will be able to walk normal because I do walk rather stiff at 6 months post op. And do we have to forever squat to pick things up. Or how about sitting on a low comfy sofa, it is not so easy getting up from that position. I am fused from T2 to the sacrum. Also, when I sit, my chest sticks way out which can sometimes be a good thing...lol. But it really does not look normal. My back now sways inward and makes my chest and...my belly stick out. It really sucks. Will all those issues eventually calm down after about a year post op? Man...I hope so. I do know that I have some weight to lose (25 lbs.) so maybe if I lose the weight it will help. One more thing...I am a blackjack dealer and I just recently went back to work and I am having a hard time with it. I cannot reach across the table to pay or take bets or pick up the cards. I know that if I was taller that it would not be an issue with me. I am only 5 ft. I did gain an inch after surgery in which I am pleased with. Any thing helps when your short. So I am now going back out on long term disability. I do need to say that I do not regret having this surgery as it has helped with my number one complaint...PAIN and I did get a 60% correction. Sorry about the long rant but, I do know how understanding all of you can be. You are all simply "the Best"
Thanks you guys for any input you may have for me!!!
