Spring 'Back To Life' After Spinal Surgery

STUDIO CITY (CBS) — More than 500,000 back surgeries are performed each year. For anyone who has ever faced debilitating illness or surgery, Pamela Douglas shows in her new book how traumatic experience can awaken deep potential, talent and creativity.

Douglas and her surgeon, Dr. Robert Pashman, visit the KCAL 9 studios Wednesday to talk about spinal surgery.

Pamela's book, "BACK TO LIFE: A Journey of Transformation through Back Surgery," explores the psychological, emotional and spiritual stages of preparation, hospitalization, and recovery from spine surgery.
