I have seen 2 surgeons and both recommeded surgery. My curve is 60 degrees. Both surgeons said that I would be fully recovered in 6 months. I have my surgery scheduled for Oct. 11. Will I truly be recovered in 6 months? We have a family vacation (cruise) scheduled for Memorial week of 2006. Will I be well enough to go on the cruise & enjoy myself? Will I be in a brace or corset? If that's the case, I think I'd be miserable.
What I've been reading on this board about being addicted to pain killers is scaring me. I don't like to take any sort of medication so the thought of having to live on them & become addicted to them is making me horrified. I've been relatively pain-free but have experienced some numbness in my legs.
Thanks!
