  • Happy Thanksgiving

    To everyone on this forum from America - Happy Thanksgiving.
    To all the post-ops, take it easy with the cooking! But enjoy the day thoroughly. I know this has nothing to do with Scoliosis, but i just wanted to send happiness.

            SO happy to have all of you! It has made a HUGE difference with my recovery! It helps the most as you get further and further along and people see you as "recovered", but you know that you still have a ways to go.

              I haven't had my surgery yet, but can't begin to say how thankful I am to have found this website. It is such a relief to know that I can talk to people who have/ are going through the same experiences. I know I'll be on a lot as my surgery day approaches!
