Today was Terrys 3 month follow up with Dr. Furey after his spinal fusion surgery.. the absolute best news anyone could ask for.. PERFECTION!!
Dr. Is very happy with Terry’s weight gain of almost 10 pounds. Said x-ray shows everything is where it is supposed to be. The cages are in place and strong. The space around nerves is perfect. His posture is perfectly straight. His bone has grown around the hardware and has formed a very strong spine, even more importantly, sometimes through healing the fusion pulls on the rest of the spine as it heals, especially with a 12 inch fusion causing further damage, but Terry’s spine above and below the fusion looks perfect. There is no sign of weakness, arthritis, or deterioration. It is solid and healthy, so there’s no reason to believe that he would need any future surgeries down the road. Incisions have healed, perfectly! Dr. lifted all restrictions. He can do anything, but advice is to go very slowly as for the first year he will be extremely exhausted as his therapy will continue. He is still working up his strength one day at a time. He is still unable to do many things because he is so very weak and range of motion is minimal but Dr Furey was very impressed with his strength this early on. He has been the best patient following all instructions and it has paid off. The back pain and painful muscle spasms he has suffered with since 2017 is completely gone. He not only has zero pain but he is on zero medications. This news is the best outcome we could’ve ever even dreamed of as there were many things that could have gone wrong… truly a MIRACLE . We are extremely thankful to God, Dr. Christopher Furey and to everyone who has been there along the way with us throughout this difficult journey loving and supporting us. He did it 💪🏼 and he’s even about 3 inches taller🧍♂️… LOL
