We are considering surgery to correct my daughters curves, her thoracic curve is at 47-51 degrees. It's a hard decision to make, especially since she runs around without a care about it. She makes comments about not liking this and that about her shape(but come on, we all do), but I am actually kind of proud of the fact that she is out every where wearing those strappy form fitting tank tops and does not think about hiding anything.
Anyway, on to the subject. They all have their ups and downs about surgery and right now, her current question is keeping her down about it.
She loves horses and has a couple at her grandparents house. She is wondering, once she is fused and able to get back to riding, if she falls off a horse will the rods hold up to a fall and can they cause worse injury?

I am obviously no good at the posting. I wanted this in the adolescent, parent area and now have no clue how to move it.
