One man's journey after spinal fusion surgery. Stan had spinal fusion surgery June 2007 and fell 3 weeks later fracturing the last fused vertebra. The fracture did not heal well and his spine was collapsing at the weakest spot. He could no longer sit up more than 15 mins due to pain & his back swelled afterwards. Stan made the tough decision to undergo another spinal fusion surgery in Sept 2008 to stabilize the vertebrae and extend the fusion. Walking was the only physical exercise for 6 mos. until bone fusion was complete. Physical therapy followed 8mos after surgery to rebuild muscle and regain upper body movement.
