My husband will be having spinal fusion
surgery soon, and I don't really know what
to expect when he comes home from the
hospital. We have two young (7 and 9)
children, and I work full time. He has
been home for the last 3 years, and has
taken care of dinner, cleaning, homework,
etc. Can anyone give me an idea of how
things will be?

Hello Jacobs,
Welcome to this forum.
I had hoped that those that have had
spinal fusion surgery would have responded
with their experiences and thoughts.
I have not at this time had spinal
surgery. If I may "speak" from what I
have read from those that have had spinal
fusion surgery - It is a very long and
slow recovery. He will not be making
dinner, cleaning or doing any homework for
a number of months.
I hope your employer will understand and
give you some time off so that you can
give your husband the support he will
need.
May I suggest that you go to the "Laser
Spinal Surgery" thread and read through
some of the posts. And please do ask any
questions that you may have on that
thread. Some have had "traditional" spine
surgery, and can bast tell you of their
experiences and thoughts.
I wish you and especially your husband the
very best in the days to come.
