    Hi, my name is Valerie, but you can call me Val or V.
    I wore a Boston Brace from 2007-2010
    My curves were 30 and 31
    I now have only a single curve which stands at 35 degrees.
    I owe all of my blessings to The Lord!
    I am very thankful with where my spine is at right now.
    I want to meet some new people on this forum!
    Don't be shy...
    Feel free to message me if you would like to chat!

        Came home yesterday!

        We arrived home yesterday, on Laura's post op day 6. How nice to be home, sleep in our own beds, shower in our own shower, & the list goes on & on. Most importantly, Laura has done amazingly well. Her pain is under control & she has been a real trooper throughout this incredible experience. She has amazed me with her courage, bravery, & positive attitude. After all, her blood type IS B+!!!!

          Martha,
          Congratulations to your whole family on a successful surgery! I bet it feels amazing to be home again so soon. All that anxiety leading up to the surgery is in the past and the future looks bright. Laura's new x-rays look amazing. The blog has been terrrific. My daughter and I have been following it daily. I am pleased to hear her recovery is rapid and that everyone is in good spirits. I thought of you when I saw Idol was on last night, but I forgot to tune in. Please continue to update us on Laura's progress.

            Brenda et al, thank you for following laura's progress on the blog & for all of your good wishes. Laura's goal was to be home on Tues. night to watch Am Idol. Actually, she was 24 hours ahead of herself so she could have gone home the night before but decided to stay one last night. Laura's recovery is amazing. Each day gets better & better & she even changed into a tank top & shorts all by herself today for a walk around the neighborhood. Her pain is under control & all is going extremely well.
