I think being in an accident or doing some normal activity and being seriously injured because of it is my greatest fear. Yet, I don't want to live in a bubble either.
Thank you for your comments. They were very helpful.
I am also fused from C3 thru C7 and L5/S1. For me the best thing is floor stretching exercise. Do see a good physical therapist to show you how to exercise without hurting yourself. Also ask about the cold laser or low level laser treatments. They were very helpful for my musscle spasm and soft tissue. But be carful I also am continuing the degeneration at the C7/T1 level. The doctors now say I could need a total neck reconstruction. I am also at risk of paralysis by some incidental accident and I don't want that accident to happen while exercising. Normal activities are out of the question for us, that is sign to be careful.
I'm there too
