I had my visit with the doc yesterday and I am elated. The issues he raised last year are still valid but in his (expert) opinion, not especially important to address at this point. I tried to make a case for age, younger rather than older, not an issue. He felt to operate on a spine that is already stiff and make it stiffer is not wise. So I wait till I have pain. When/if I have pain, he will address the lumber area, see how well I tolerate the surgery and then if my vital signs are within normal, within the same operation he would correct the loss of correction, kyphosis and balance. I think I could have hugged him. He also brought in a neurosurgeon to the consult.
So life continues much as before. There are some incredible stories on the forum. Some folks who deal with very difficult situations and I hope by talking to others and creating a community of support, helps them cope. Never realized the number of scolisis survivors there are.
Thanks for sharing and good luck
