Today was my 2nd visit to see the surgeon. They measured my height today, gained approximately 1 1/2". I was down 2 inches from my normal height of 5'6". Going to get x-rayed on July 16th, then back to see surgeon on the 24th, then I will receive my before and after x-rays. Dr. Agulnick was excited for me because he knows a lot of us like to post them to this forum (he actually told me to go onto this forum when I first started seeing him). Going to take a nap now, can't believe how tired I get from just little outings!
