Good luck to all who have to go through any type of revision surgeries, it's not fun I know especially when it happens in less than 10 years like it has to me. And doing a lot of what I had to do the first time like taking it easy and not bending, plus by my doc's orders not doing much of anything except walking a LOT(even in -25 temps) for the first three months takes courage. I just hope that my fusion heals well this time, not that any tests can tell me for sure. But I will take it easy for a while that's for sure, and won't do as much as I did before when I didn't know about failing fusions.
