“This back deterioration was so thorough, it made me retire early. It affected my spiritual life, and it affected relationships with the grandkids. If I moved, I was on a walker. I saw myself probably finishing up life right there.
What amazed me was, in the hospital the next morning, waking up, they said “In the hall, start walking.” I said, “You can’t do that with fusion.” You can’t do anything else out there and walking. And they aggressively wanted you to walk. All I could say is three months I was up and did my first fishing trip. I was amazed.”
