        Bon voyage, Janet! You sound like your shoulders are squared to do battle.
        That's the mindset that will get you through! "Onward, Scoli Soldiers...."
        Not all diagnosed (still having tests and consults) but so far:
        Ehler-Danlos (hyper-mobility) syndrome, 69 - somehow,
        main curve L Cobb 60, compensating T curve ~ 30
        Flat back, marked lumbar kyphosis (grade?) Spondilolisthesis - everyone gives this a different grade too. Cervical stenosis op'd 3-07, minimally invasive

                              To Janet's Hubby-
                              Surgery is hard on the patient but it's really hard on the families waiting on those surgeries! Hang in there and know Janet is in great hands. These procedures are delicate and time consuming but she will be fine!

                              Just wanted to let you know you are all in my prayers, today especially!
