Hi .. Hope your daughter is doing good. I need some more information on this can you pls share your contact or email id pls it will be very helpful.

Hi Chris, hope you have recovered well from your surgery. My 9 yr old son is undergoing this surgery shortly, just wanted to learn from your experiences: 1. Any tips when going to the toilet after surgery? Special diets etc 2. Major do's and don'ts during and post surgery? Eg pillows required or avoiding certain body positions? 3. Are you able to walk a fair distance after all these years? Thanks for sharing and take care!

@@TheMadichetti Hi Kiran, Im doing well! Im sorry to hear your son is undergoing it but Im sure he'll do great! As for tips, going to the toilet once they let you take him home might be a bit of a struggle depending on how far the bathroom is, but having a walker or rail of some sort by the toilet should help with sitting down and getting up. As for special diets, I found it easier to eat soups and liquids and limit solids. Everyone is different, but thats what did it for me. Something I would recommend and push for is to help him shower for the first month or two until he can stand and turn on his own better. I wasnt able to shower on my own for the first month and ended up with ripped stitches and an infected wound, causing me to go back for a second surgery. So for sure clean sheets, clothes, and shower regularly! Lastly, Im perfectly fine now and can walk, run, lift, etc. for extended periods of time. I recently found that working out helps with the recovery of feeling in my back as the original surgery ripped my nerves and caused me to not be able to feel my back anymore. Its also helped my scar begin to fade a bit. I probably wouldnt recommend weighted stuff, but calisthenics are for sure a good way to get him to recover faster and feel better overall once he can after the first few months! One thing I forgot to mention, try not to lay him on his side and DEFINITELY DO NOT let him lay on his stomach! I still cant really lay on my stomach. The only downside Ive experienced is lack of flexibility (its almost the same as before but I cant do certain things like dance as well) and my back pain is concentrated in one spot instead of distributed throughout my back. I hope this helps!! Good luck :)
