Had to have L3, L4, L5 fusion. Every thing is progressing nicely in the recovery. Have been told the WD will require too much bending with the hand clutch, position of the seat, etc... What has anyone else experienced?

I had a Luminectomy Oct 20 on all L1 to L5 . I had a routine check up this morning and was encouaged to continue physical therapy and do what activity I can tolerate. I intend to operate my D-12, D-15 and D-17 this spring. My concern for the 45 would be swinging your right leg over the drive housing then not being able to put some weight on your foot as it lies forward putting all your weight on your butt. lol

very happy to hear you're doing 'very well' !!!

I have 'paper thin' discs between L3-L4-L5, found that out at new chiropractor one day. saw an X-ray in the room, compared it to the 'chart', when doc came in , I said ,'gee that guy must be in pain, those don't look very nice'. he says, you tell me, it's YOUR X-ray'. seems I collapsed my spinal column 20 years previous when I 'left the motorcycle' when I hit SAND on the road. ER doc only saw the busted right shoulder....

For past 5-8 years I do a 'silly' muscle stretch, and knock on wooden head, NO problems ,there... rest of the body, well, getting old ain't as much fun as 'they' said it wood be.

try to stay healthy guys !!!
