    Dear Lee

    I know your surgery is May 28th, I don't know if you will check in on the forum because you'll have lots of things on your mind before the surgery but I'll be thinking of you.
    I wish you a successful outcome and speedy recovery and don't slip out of bed in those satin pyjamas.

    Thanks Paula

    Hey.....

    Thanks Paula i didn't think people would remember my date. I was actually gonna do a post saying thanks for everyones support and stories, without this forum who knows what state i'd be in.

    I'm actually doing pretty well for someone who's surgery is in 3 days......

    But i do thank all you guys from the bottom of my heart for giving me a positive attitude on my upcoming surgery. I go into hospital sunday @ 4pm and my surgery is Monday 8am so i think i might have some happy juices before hand as i think i will need them.

    Anyway guys im off need to sleep. When im up to it i will check in to let you all know about my successful operation.

    Take Care,

    Lee

        Lee:

        You're in my thoughts and prayers. It's great to see that you're going into the surgery with a good attitude. I really think that is going to be an essential element of getting through this whole thing and recovering more quickly. Good luck and I am sending my very best thoughts your way!!!

              I just spoke to a woman called Sue who visited Lee yesterday. Lee had surgery five days ago. I don't have much info as Lee was quite drowsy but doing fine, got up, walking etc.

              Hope to hear more from Lee herself soon!

                  Thanks for the news, Gen. That must have been Susan Willis from the Scoliosis Association in Melbourne. Can't wait to hear about Lee's progress when she's home.

                    Hey All

                    Just wondering how Lee's going. I havent been able to add a reply to this as i've been kinda busy the last few days. If someone can keep me posted it would be great. I'll be keeping a few people posted about my appointment next Wednesday, as I'm hoping to find out whats happening with my operation.
