Hi all,
Sorry I am not around much anymore. Sitting, again is getting rather painful, and most days I am trying to keep busy as much as possible as part of my pain coping mechanism.
I'll be having another surgery to replace the broken rod, and to change the type of the rods to vitallium. I have checked with other surgeons, and thus far everyone is on board with this. There was an area of non-fusion around L4 and L5 that resulted in the break. The popping and grinding is pretty unbearable. In the last few months I have gone from being able to walk ten miles or bike (on a cruiser style bike on a paved bike path...no mountain biking) 20 to 30 miles a day to less than 5 biking and 1 mile walking. Its pretty depressing. I was feeling so good in May before breaking it in June, so I am really hoping to get back to that.
Other than that, nothing else to report. I hope everyone else is doing well!
