I have been in denial for a year and somehow figured that my diagnosis of scoliosis at 65 [Adult Onset Degenerative] would majically get better or just stop progressing...
So now, I am going back for my one year visit next month and fear the progression [I certainly tilt more to the R and my shoulder is lower and I have noticed my hip much more uneven...I am generally healthy, weight about 15#s more than it should be [actually, if I hadn't shrunk 2.5" I might be close to OK weight].
Just ballpark estimates of LIFE AFTER A T3 to SACRUM fixation at 66. I know that everyone is different and I will be older than most of the people on the blog, but just an estimate of how I might feel at different times.
SO AFTER SURGERY: When did you start to feel OK and really wanted visitors? Was there a point early on that many people regret that they had surgery, but then weeks later just knew that was how most people felt? When did you feel like going out of the house? When did you want to travel on an airplane for a vacation? When could you take short walks outside of the house? When did you want to travel by car for 5-6 hours?
Thanks, Susan
