  • I'm so scared---can anyone help me?

    My name is Adge, and I just turned 15. I have scoliosis and kyphosis. I wore a brace for my scoliosis for 2 years, and my curves are about 40ish degrees. My kyphosis was never detected until it was too late. Its now over 80 degrees. My surgeon tells me I should count on having surgery soon. I am so scared, as is my family. I can't stop shaking. Nobody in my family knows what they do in surgery. My surgeon is unavailable at this time, and I can't ask him. I'm so scared. Can anyone help me. Please. Thank you.

            don't worry--be happy!

            Hi Adge,

            My name's Lorna, and I'm 14 (soon to be 15, in about 3 months). I never had kyphosis, but I did have scoliosis. I had about a 63 degree curve, which the doctors immediatly said would have to be corrected by surgery. There isn't anything to be scared about! I had my surgery when I was in 5th grade, which was about 4 years ago. It might seem like it's going to be really scarry now, but once you go in for the actual surgery, you won't be as scared, I promise! If you have aim, my screen name is AngelWithAFlute. Feel free to talk to me anytime!
