Amber had her surgery almost 7 weeks ago. She is getting ready to go back to school. For the first time she got to spend her birthday (Today) at home and didn't have to go to school. She goes to school tomorrow and can't wait to show off her scar. She is looking forward to showing everyone the photos of her after xrays.

Read my posts; I got my life back at 60 from my scoliosis surgery(revision)22 months ago. I certainly would have been disabled from breathing impairment had I not done it.

Anterior/posterior revision T-4 to Sacrum in 2002, age 60, by Dr. Boachie-Adjei @Hospital for Special Surgery, NY = 50% correction

My mother had knee replacement surgery last year and I found her recovery much more difficult than my fusion recovery. I can't say that there is anything that I can't do as a result of the surgery. I was involved in most sports before surgery (even while wearing a Milwaukee brace) and couldn't wait to get going again after surgery. My wife, who I met in high school shortly after my surgery, says that it's easy to forget that I have Scoliosis or had surgery since it has no affect on our lives.
