Well I'm 6 weeks out and saw Dr Cree with my latest X-ray. I didn't bother asking the new cobb angle because my spine actually now looks straight. (55 deg fused T9 to L3). He said i got the correction of a teenager. Feeling a little superior I asked "ïs that because my spine was flexible" and he responded "no that's why I'm grey". Feeling better day by day but the fatigue is still getting to me, I'm needing a lay down and a day nap about every second day. I'm looking forward to getting my mojo back. I start work full-time on Mon, a bit of a worry but it is a cushy sit down job with a lot of down time and there is provisions for me to have a couple of lay downs through the day. The getting up and staying all day will be the hard part. Still a bit tender on my right side, that was previously concave and around the back is still quite numb on that side but improving. My family are raving about the improvement in my appearance and Dr Cree called me hottie! Yay, I'll take it where I can at 49 yrs. In fact even with the scar I think in 12 months I'll still wear a bikini because I've now got nice hips again...I was becoming self conscious because there seemed to be a rapid deteriotion in the past 18 months. It's funny how I began to gravitate to baggy clothes. I think I had the op at the right time for me. Take care everyone.
