Although it didn't exactly come to me as a surprise, I found out for sure today that I'll be having spinal surgery late June. I've had scoliosis for most of my life, but it was confirmed at my annual x-ray today that it's progressive - this means that if my spine isn't fused where it is now, it'll continue to curve for the rest of my life. And that's not really okay... so, my surgeon wants to fuse it near the end of June.
I cannot do any sort of lifting for 6 weeks post-op, and I can't do much at all for the first 2 weeks.
I don't know if I can really risk being an obstacle during a zoomie lap or even the target of Dober-snuggles during this time. I'm not really sure what to do with Kaiser. I think we may be able to board him for the first two weeks, but we can't afford to board him (nor do we really want to) for 6 weeks.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what I might be able to do?
