Starting work again Fantastic news.

Glad you keep reminding yourself to take it slow. Hard to do when you're feeling good.

A word of caution for everyone undergoing any spine surgery but especially ADR &fusion.

100% will probably have a different meaning. The way it was is probably not a realistic goal. Most spine patients must always tempur their activities and activity level. However, most spine patients are so relieved to have a life back, most are pleased with their personal limitations. We may miss doing something - like Mark jumping out of airplanes - but if all we want is a good, productive and painfree life, most of us will not be disappointed. For those who want it all, think again. Very few of us have achieved that goal, with the emphasis on very few. In fact, I once asked that specific question and only 2 people did not have to amend their ways.

So DR, from where you were to where you are now, both mentally and physically, you are on the right track and it appears the tunnel is behind you.
