  • my pre and post x-rays!

    I'm three weeks post op, and so happy with my correction!

    I want to show you guys how great I look, but my incision still looks a little crusty, so that will wait...

    Thank you all for the loving support over the last few months leading up to my big day!

    Amazing!

    Rosie--your x-rays look wonderful!!! You are so straight and your ribs look so much better too! I'm looking forward to seeing a photo when your incision heals a little more... Keep us posted on how you're doing. Best wishes for a quick and relatively easy recovery.

          Amazing! Geez, what a relief to have it over with and have such good results.

          Were you as impressed with the nurses there as I was? I'm guessing we had some of the same ones!

            Congratulation!!! You look wonderful!!! What a great correction you got.

            Are you anything like me??? I stared at my back through a set of mirrors in disbelief and amazement for months afterwards. I catch myself doing still to this day.

            Way to go,
            Shari
