Rosedee,
I see you've had quite a bit of work done already. I too have had 2 spine surgeries and was left worse off than going in 2nd time. No fusion to date. Still afraid of it~

May I ask who will be doing your surgery? It sounds like an undertaking tho in the right hands may turn out very well (of course one hopes this much)~ or at least to enable you to be upright, mobile and in less pain~
