I had a good visit with my lovely doctor today, in fact, I cried in his office when I was telling him how much he has changed my life for the better. He is such a fantastic doctor, as well as very compassionate and caring.
My back is healing nicely and he showed me my xrays which he said looked great.
I have slight kyphosis on my upper thoracic spine, however he said it looks so good there will probably be very little chance of needing a revision surgery in the future, of course no guarantees, UNLESS - I go back to massage work. He said I could do massage if I have the table up high, and unfortunately, if the table is up that high, you cannot give deep massage which is what most people want. So I'm looking at possibly going back to school and getting an Associates of Science Degree, so that I can become a "Sign Language Interpreter". My best friend is Chief of Audiology and teaches as a professor also at the Tampa University teaching sign language. She wouldn't be the one teaching me, but she was telling me about the career and it interests me greatly. I've always loved learning languages, so this is just a different kind of language, and then I would be able to help the disabled community.
Anyway, my next visit with my doctor is in another three months time. I feel fantastic and I can't believe how great I feel just 12 weeks post op. I can't say enough how happy I am to have made the decision to have surgery, and I can't thank all of you enough for being such an amazing support system for me.
