A multi‑part journey through my fusion takedown surgery. From years of refusals to the turning points, the surgeons who shaped the path, and the long process of relearning movement.
The day I met Dr. Gross was the moment possibility walked into the room. What followed was honesty, risk, and the beginning of a partnership that would change everything about how I moved through the world.
For years, the dream of undoing my childhood fusion felt impossible. Part 1 traces the closed doors, the turning point, and the unexpected phone call that changed everything.
