Leave Monday for surgery Tues. .

[bsprings]

Hi everyone- this forum has been so helpful I don't know what I would have done without it! I leave for New York Monday morning to have surgery Tuesday. Thanks for all your support/info. I don't post alot but I read most every day and feel much better about having an idea of what to expect. I have a great doctor- Boachie- and even thought my curves are severe (100 deg) I think he can handle it. Of course I am nervous but I feel God will be with me. I hope I can turn around and encourage all those who are anticipating surgery after I go through it!

Hi Cathie,

I just wanted to say good luck on Tuesday with your surgery. You will be in good care with Dr. Boachie & Hospital for Special Surgery. I know how you are feeling right now. I had revision surgery in 2002 with Dr. Boachie. He is a very kind and talented doctor.
Like you, I haven't posted often but I just wanted to wish you well. You will be in my prayers on Tuesday morning.

Take care,
Sue

I will be praying for you and your doctors during your surgery and recovery. We look forward to hearing from you after surgery. With 100 degree curve, you have no where to go but improvement and I want to hear the good news of how much correction is acheived!

God Bless you.

Good luck! With everything I've heard about Dr. Boachie, I am sure you are going to do very well! The very best to you for a speedy recovery - next thing you know, you'll be offering encouraging words to people that have yet to cross "to the other side" like me!
