Hi (Bonjour!) to all of you,
First of all, thank you to every one for taking the time to post all that information. It is so helpfull! I must say I was nervous to register because english is not my first language. So if I write with an "accent" it's because I am french. My husband told me that I could communicate in english even so I think I'm not great at it! I can tell you that I understand very well.
My daughter is Roseline, 12 years old. She wore a brace since she was 8. She is now scheduled to have surgery on September 27th. She has an upper curve of about 58. she will have anterior and posterior surgeries. The surgery itself doesn't worry me to much. She had major heart surgeries three times already, so I think I know what to expect from her stay in the hospital, even though it's not the same. All my questions and worries are more about the post operation. That is why this forum is sooo helpfull. I read the thread of mumof5 with a lot of interest.
She will have to miss school for about 2 months and I do not know what she will need at home and at school after. She is not in Highschool yet, so I think that having just one desk, one chair will be easier to make adjustments if needed.
If you think that you have little tricks that you wish you had known before, it would be very appreciated if you can share them with me. For her stay at the hospital (for example, I read about having non slippery slippers) and at home after. What kind of pillows could help make more comfortable? Anything you can think of will be read with a lot of gratitude.
Thank you again and in advance for everything.
Hope my accent is not too thick
