I can do almost everything I did before the surgery. My big thing was i could not sit for long periods of time and that is totally gone. I am really fine by every standard. Do I get back pain? Only when i sit funny watching tv for long periods of time. I work out, dance (ok i was never good but enthusiastic).
I would thank god or my doctor for it everyday but I seriously forget i had it done... how cool is that??? Go for it and recovery time was one month limited and six months don't do crazy stuff then it was all out.

OMG if you were in front of me I would kiss you. If I am going to be able to be normal and happy and dance then it is SO worth it. I am scared to death about the recovery time, but more scared about not being able to jump, ride roller coasters, have insane sex (haha), and run. They are not removing any discs just fusing the back and putting in a cage to support it. So if you are good then I have faith I will be good. Thank you!
