Hey, I am having surgery also do not know when. I have had back surgery before and it was hard on me. I did not need walker. I am trying to remember about my surgery in 03 - whatever i needed, they brought to my house. Also PT came about 3 times a week. I had a comod chair and I gave it to goodwill last year.
Good luck girl. Maybe we can keep it tough before our surgery

Hey, is your dr. going to use a cage and bone graft with rods and screws.
