I am only 3 weeks post op and I too was scared out of my mind. This forum and the wonderful people on it helped me realize it would be ok. I went into surgery relaxed and calm and I think that is important. My fusion is from T8 to the sacrum.
I am so glad already that I had this done. I feel like I was in good physical condition and that helps tremendously and each day I feel stronger and stronger.
I know I could not have continued enjoying life the way I wanted to had I not had the surgery so I looked at it like what is a year out of my life when I have so many good years ahead to look forward to pain free.
The surgery wasn't nearly as bad as I had made in seem in my mind. Yes there is pain but the nurses are very good at making sure your pain is controlled.
In the end it is your decision. This is just one more persons sucess and happy ending.
Good luck.
