Hi Cecia,

My MIL had spinal stenosis for years. She was at such an advanced age that surgery wasn’t really an option. The worst thing that will happen is he will use a wheel chair and a walker/cane. But, as he’s primarily sitting most of the time, that’s not much of a change! MIL could still get up and walk even transitioning in the bathroom, into another chair or into the car. We did hire someone to help her, but you might have to do that anyway for an older parent. That’s what his life might look like if you don’t do the surgery. P.S. She LOVED swimming, as it was such a relief to float around in the water!

And pray for a successful surgery if he decides to have it, and POST surgery! That’s all you can do, pray for all the cards/planets to “align” for a successful, smooth surgery.

Best,

Inky
