Hi All,
Just wanted to let everyone know I set the date for surgery with Dr. Lenke. He has openings now starting in January, but I am waiting until March next year because it's better for my husband's work schedule. Plus I am hoping to walk outside some during recovery.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you all for the support I've gotten from you over the past year--especially those of you I've been able to meet and PM. It really has made all the difference in making this decision and being at peace with it.
So, big day for me: I also got to meet the lovely Golfnut (Karen)! We coincidentally had back-to-back (no pun intended) appointments in St. Louis. So great to put a face with a name and see another person doing so well after surgery!!
On the negative side, my curve has gotten crazy out of control--measured 84 degrees today, up from 68 last summer!! However, Dr. Lenke put me as a 3-4 on a scale of 1 to 10 for the surgeries he does. So that's good.
Well, now it's on to working out, eating right and trying to get organized. Thanks again to everyone for helping me make ***THE*** decision. (Now, just help me stick to it!)
Thanks,
Evelyn
