When you say cage I presume you mean you were fused. How many levels and what region? L3-S1? What is cdif? I ll bet you will benefit greatly from home health PT if available.

You require guidance from a PT physical therapist to prevent harm as you pursue exercise guide:

So sorry you had Dcif on top of your surgery! That must have been miserable! I'm sure the infection added to your weakness. Your orthopedic Dr should be able to order P.T. to help get you up and going. That would be the best place to start. He should have had you scheduled for that already unless he was waiting for the infection to clear up. Good luck!
