Wow! Ummm I totally lost it with some of the responses. I laughed until I about cried. I understand that this is a very serious & important question but I couldn't help but laugh at some of them.
I can't answer this for you since I'm 12 weeks since my fusion & although I love my hubby very much, I tell him to stay away! The area around my abdominal incision is still tender & my new pain likes to shoot stabbing pains in the SI Joint area when it feels like it.
Sorry I couldn't be of much help but I wanted to thank everyone for the much needed laughs. I now need to go take some pain meds because I laughed too much
