Scar at nearly 12 months post op

[Pips]

Just thought people might like to know how well a scar can heal when you are an oldster (over 40!). I am nearly 12 months post op and my scar is fading well.

I have posted some pictures of it on my blog for people to have an idea of what they might expect at this stage. You can find it at:

Hi Pips
Well, finally. My first post. Your scar looks great. Took me months to get on this forum. I'm 47 with an 80° curve, op scheduled for Feb 14. Read yr posts and blog and learnt a lot. Originally from London, now living in Paris.

Hi Mouna

tried to PM you a while back but couldn't get through - anyway I'm glad you finally managed to get your first working post up.

My lumbar curve was similar to yours and I am only a couple of years younger, so hopefully you will have some idea of what to expect from my experiences.

Good luck with the surgery - do everything the doctors and nurses tell you and don't be afraid to ask them for anything....

I hope it all goes well and will be thinking of you.
