Philly, You know me as Cathydownunder from elsewhere.
I have 3 fusions from L3-S1...well actually fusion/ADR+Dynesys/fusion.
I don't have problems bending but extension is very painful! I've read of many scoliosis patients with long fusions who are very flexible so please don't assume your bending days are over!
Best of luck with your surgery. I hope you're at peace with your decision knowing you've done all your research and that this is what you need to do for YOU.
Cathy
