This is what happened to a good friend of mine last year. She had two reconstruction surgeries on her lower spine only to come out of the last surgery in great pain, couldn't even walk... and she had horses. After some complaining she was seen by her back surgeon who discovered that she needed a hip. That was last summer/fall. With the new hip she is doing well, not going to ride horses ever again but she can walk and do her daily thing without pain. She's in her mid-70s.

I hope your dearest has a similar outcome!
