Hi, I'm Lili and I'm 15 years old. I have a 50 degree upper curve and a 29 degree lower curve, and my surgery date is October 25. I'm having a posterior spinal fusion from T4 to L2, I think.
These boards seem like a great, supportive place, and its been very informative and interesting reading the various threads.
Today was my pre-op, and it made everything seem so much more real. I'm worried about the surgery a little, and I was wondering if anyone had any tips to make the hospital stay easier. What was it like? How bad was the pain?
Also, how was going back to school? I'm a sophmore this year, and I'm kind of worried about missing so much school. Also, how bad is it to be pushed around a little bit after surgery? I go to an overcrowded school, so the halls are often full, and you get pushed around from all the people.
Thanks!
