Riding after Lumbar fusion

["Barbara B. Peck" <bpeck@together.net>]

Cheryl:

 

My best friend (riding buddy) had spinal fusion, and spent

time with 2 steel rods in her back  (She has scoliosis.. i.e

crooked spine).  This was done when she was 30, and the rods

were taken out at some point after that.. not sure when though.

She had ridden since she was a kid, and resumed riding as soon as she felt she was able,  

starting slowly, and has never had any problems (and she's been dumped a few times) she's 48 now, and still riding.
