Congratulations Lynne. I have also been lucky. Like you, I had my surgery 10 years ago and my back is 100%. Now aged 68, no pain, and able to do anything I want. My 10 year anniversary was March 3. This is the first time in years I've come to this fantastic forum, which helped me so much prior to and in the early years after my surgery and it's great to see some familiar members still here. (Hi Ed! I'm still thankful for the support and knowledge you gave me.) I hope those other senior members are doing well too.
Surgery March 3, 2009 at almost 58, now 63.
