They fused me T-2 to L-1 and i have 4 rods and 24 screws and 1 hook. everything went so fast its all a blur.no regrets though so it looks like all the prayers worked.

    i went from being almost 5 feet tall to being almost 5 foot 2! everything is lower now! lol

    That's excellent! I'm so glad it went well for you. I wish you well in your continued and very likely speedy recovery.

    Today is two months since my daughter Savannah, also 13, had her surgery (T4-L1). She has her pre-diagnosis life back for the most part. Most importantly, no more pain. The last bit near her shoulder blade has been gone for about a week. This surgery is amazing.

          Amanda is Home Too

          Jenna: Amanda is home too at 2 pm today. It was rocky but she's doing fine. I'll have her write you later. So glad you made it!

          She had T4-L1 100% correction of curve and rib hump at this point.

          Whew! Happy healing to you!

            Jenny How are You Doing?

            Just wanted to see how you are. How is the pain management? Amanda had a bit of a pain crisis last night. Let me know, and I hope you are doing great!

                Pain

                I do have pain but I mostly just feel unconfortable. They gave me this liquid pain killer called codeen( please excuse the spelling I'm to lazy to go look how it's spelled ) but I havn't been taking it lately because it's liquid So I've been living on extra strength tylenol. This is awesome since I've been in the car several times since being home because my grandpa passed away and we've been back and forth to my grandma's. But I'm doing great and I feel so silly for being sooo worried. I have absolutly no regrets!
