i've been curious about something. i done a little research on scoliosis surgery and what happenes afterwards. a couple spots i looked at said something about being put on medications after surgery. is it true, and if it is, are the meds permanent?
I also was wondering something else.... i do volunteer work at the nursing home in my town. i really don't do much lifting, but i do alot of pushing (you know, i push the residents in their wheelchairs if they want to go for a ride or to eat). Probably the heaviest thing i lift is the container with the bingo stuff in it. that only weighs about 5, maybe 10 pounds. anyway, my question is, if i need surgery, how soon would i be able to do this again? most of the time, i just sit with the residents and do stuff with them, just to make them feel good. sometimes i even massage the nurses backs if they've had a stressful day . i'm hoping that if i need surgery that i'll be able to go back to this in a month or two.
Thanks for letting me ramble so much you all!!!!
