Good Luck!! I see a ton of patients through my job, and they all seem a lot better after surgery, and are happy with the results!!
Be glad they're using _your_ hip bone, otherwise it would come from a cadaver. (Which isn't a _bad_ thing, since I really support/advocate organ/tissue donating!!)

Dogmama... my Mom had this very same surgery Oct 04. They fused 3 vertebrae using cadaver bone... she was very nervous but constantly in pain prior so decided to heed the docs advice and do the surgery. It has been one of the VERY BEST things she has ever done for herself!!! She no longer has migraines, can turn her head both directions with ease, and can also look up and down now with ease!
She bought her first bike about 6 months ago and has been learning to ride... she just wants to ride with the grandkids, but it's more than she ever imagined she'd do before the surgery! I will have you in my thoughts and hope you have such amazingly positive results as well! Big hugs! Just listen to the doc and follow the recovery advice to a T...
There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

Keeping you in my thoughts Mama!! Hoping everything works out for you! If possible have someone let us know how it went!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Best wishes for a speedy recovery and good results. 8 weeks will go by and it will still be late winter, early spring. Good timing for restarting cycling.

Dogmamma- Don't forget we are all here for you and anxiously await the day when you can let us know how you are doing. Bike or not, you're still part of the family!
Hope to hear from you soon. The bikeangels will be watching over you during your surgery.
Nancy
