Wow, congratulations Nairek! That was a long surgery for fusion. I think mine was maybe 4 hours ish, and they went in from both front and back as well, for stabilization. I'm glad you are at least home. You have your recovery in front of you, and I will be praying for you. Please feel free to PM me or just ask me any questions. We are here for you as you adjust in your rehabilitation process. God bless!
