I just wanted to let you all know that another of us is heading to surgery after many months of waiting in anxiety and anticipation. You have all been so helpful to me and I have learned more here than any doctor could have taught me about what it is really going to be like to take on daily living after scoliosis surgery.
My surgery is extensive...anterior and posterior. I will have 3 vertebrae removed and replaced with carbon fibor cages. I will be fused from T2 through S1. I am also one of the older patients with arthritis, slight osteoporosis, and a multitute of aches and pains that I didn't have 10 years ago.....don't wait until you are 57 like I have! It only gets worse and more dangerous.
Anyway......my husband has promised to check-in and give you a little feedback on how things are going after surgery until I can rejoin you. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers next Thursday. Dr. Shelokov will do the surgery.
