[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1308421, member: 96226"] My dad had the same fusion. You'll have lost a great deal of flexibility along with the strength. It's going to be a long road back. Pop never fully recovered because he was stubborn and willful but he got most of the way back. Ma was an nurse for an orthopedic surgeon which was probably the only reason he ever walked again. My advice based on Dad's experience, stay positive, stay driven, don't run before you can walk. Work with your therapists and doctors. The guys above are right. This is no joke but it's not something you won't be able to get back almost all the way from. Just don't expect all the way. Heck even after just rebuilding my shoulders and knees I know there are some tighter limits on the stuff I can do. Definitely, if you're carrying a tire on the belly, get rid of it. That alone was the difference year to year in my Dad and I getting in 9 holes of golf and him being in bed for 3 days and getting in 18 holes and going fishing the next day. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
