Do's and Don'ts After A Lumbar Fusion

[Guest guest]

Hi Everybody,

Would one of you nice folks please tell me what to expect after a

lumbar fusion? I know it is a lot more involved than the disectomy I

had in September. How incapacitated will I be when I come home? My

husband and I are trying to determine what we will need in the way of

assistance and how long we will need the help. He has emphysema and

can only do so much during the day. Also, he can't drive. Any

insight any of you could give would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks and Happy Holidays Everyone!
