  • Merry Christmas/Merry Morphine

    I just wanted to say to everyone else that has had scoliosis surgery and is in as much pain as I'm in that you are not alone. There are other like us who, during this Holiday season, will spend their days in bed on morphine or other opiate medications. Some of you may even be alone like I am. Anyway, I will be thinking and praying for all of you anonymous people who read this site but don't always post. I pray that you will be able to live through this pain and not succumb to despair. And that in the future, some treatments may become available to help those of us with degeneration and stenosis due to scoliosis surgeries.

    Thank you.
    1st surgery: Fused T1-L3 in 1987 with contoured Harrington Rods. Rods broke at top.
    2nd surgery: Re-done two weeks later; fused C7-L3. Left in chronic pain.
    3rd surgery: Hardware removal 1997, but still pain for 30 years.
    4th Surgery: Fused to the sacrum in 2016. Came out of surgery with left foot paralysis. (Drop Foot) Can't walk on my own.
    I'm blessed to have found my peace and reason to live not from a husband or kids (I have none) but from God and within myself.
