Judy,
I dunno.. I'm leary of too many surgeries. Getting off morphine would be great. Realistic who knows given your extensive spinal history. Walking upright .. that'd be great and I so wish that will happen for you.
I never thought I'd have a problem walking related to my feet. Sometimes some really strange stuff comes out of nowhere even when we are hoping and prepared for things to be better as a direct result of a specific surgery we are doing.
I am truly of the belief that less is more with regard to surgeries tho that's based on my own experience which still doesn't mean I'd not have more surgery.
If you are planning more surgery please allow yourself the time your body needs to recover whatever amount of time that might be. We just can't rush or push these things.
Now I do hope you'll get a more educated answer to your questions vs. my opinions/recommendations!
