Spinal fusion?

i was supposed to have a spinal fusion in july but they keep pushing it back, then they said october, now they are saying november its my insurance that keeps messing up. when i do i will have to take a long leave of absence from school for about 6 weeks, i dont kno what to tell ppl when i get bac, i kno alot of ppl and i dont want them to think i some kind of freak or something.i will probably be slightly taller to. should i tell them the truth that i had major back surgery or jus make up some lie?

Answers:
You are worrying about something that is not likely gonna happen. Alot of people are busy with school and other things in life. You aren't the total ininterrupted focus on everyone's life. So, when someone asks you where you are going or where where u just be honest and say I had to have something very complicated fixed on my body and now I am all better now. Thanks so much for your concern! If you feel comfortable being more specific about your issue with certyain people then go into details more if you wish. Not a big deal and best luck to you and your recovery :-)
Have you seen a chiropractor? I would look into alternative means before I let someone cut me. Spinal fusion surgeries have an 50% fail rate after 3 years and an 80% fail rate after 5 years. Please try some alternative. Tell your friends, co-workers, whomever the truth. There is no need to lie about it.
