7 month update
7 months ago i had a double level fusion, and a double level disc replacement. I had gotten into an auto accident at work. I could barely walk. had pain in both legs,in groin , and lower back. Had surgery Sept 23rd. Dr Rick Delamarter was my surgeon. Recovery was a lot harder than i had expected. After a couple months i was able to cut down on pain meds, and walk over a mile. 7 months out of surgery my fusion is almost all the way fused. I am able to walk over a mile. Ive only had to take pain meds on rare occasions. Once was while visiting Las Vegas, way to much walking. I have a 3 year old i am able to play with. I will be starting Physical therapy next month. DR want fusion fully healed before i started. Im still wearing my back brace 24/7. So far so good.
