  • Has anyone heard from Greenthumb?

    I have been wondering about Greenthumb (Teresa), who had her surgery with Lenke in mid June. Hoping I just missed her posts somehow?

    Has anyone heard from her? I hope she is recovering well.

    I've been quite concerned too. I know she was traveling all the way from Houston to St. Louis, and driving too in the end, though, I believe she spoke of having a care-giver accompany her and was wondering about a return flight (?).

    I've been anxiously awaiting word of her emerging after surgery, and also wondering how her arrangements would work out for her, as they sounded similar to ones I'm considering ('m 1400 miles from Dr. Bridwell in the same facility, and might have surgery with him -- how, I don't know).

    Teresa (Greenthumb) did so much careful planning! Her surgery was June 10th.
    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
