Hello Curve52-

Prayers for a smooth surgery
just writing to tell you that I will say a prayer for your surgery, tell yourself it's your turn to be the patient now, and let yourself be taken care of. Ask for pain meds, and tell the nurses if you can't do something they want you to do! Please write when you can- when you're able to sit at a computer and tell us how you're doing. God bless -- Jamie57 years old.
thoracic curve 68 degrees
lumbar-sacral curve +/- 41 degrees
Cspine C3- C7 fusion Nov. 2011 <done! success!!>, then scoli surgery T2- L4 or maybe to sacrum.
Discogram/ myelogram pending. Surgery to be scheduled, maybe fall 2015. <scared but I know this is not going to get better>
THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR SHARING EXPERIENCES AND KNOWLEDGE!

HI Curve,
I'm a firm believer that every thing happens for a reason. It must not have been the right time for you. But when the time comes you will be ready. I know it is very discouraging, after the build up you must have gone through, but stay strong and keep the faith that it was not meant to be at that time!!!
I hope you wait is not long and I hope everything goes well for your next scheduled surgery!!!
Shari
