Theresa,

When was your surgery again????

[Theresa]

Connie,

My surgery was April 9th and 13th 2004.

Theresa,

Thats sounds like a great recovery.....keep it up and enjoy your life...It gives me hope that I'll be doing the things I love in time ......surgery is in two days.

Connie,

Good Luck with your surgery!! I hope that everything goes well for you. Just remember to take things slow and remember the emotional roller coaster. It's all a part of it. Theresa

Good luck to Connie!

Connie,
I don't post a lot but I've been thinking of you as your surgery approaches. I can't imagine the mix of emotions you must have right now. Just focus on the positives and the long term outcomes. I've also been to Dr. Neuwirth. You are in very capable hands. He's one of the best.

I'll be thinking of you on Monday and look forward to first post-op post. Look tall! Nora

All this support is whats getting me through this...all the information that I gathered , has made me stronger and more secure with approaching surgery...I will have someone report on my recovery progress....thanks for caring

Hey Everyone,

I was just reading through the old posts and realized I didn't tell you all the best thing! My 79 degree Thorasic curve is down to 22 degrees and my 44 degree Lumbar curve is down to 18 degrees! I still have a hip problem but at least my heart and lungs won't have any problems later on due to the scoliosis.

Hopefully by now, Connie is out of her surgery and on the road to recovery. Enjoy your summer. Theresa
