Just wanted to write and let you all know that yesterday we went for nicoles first drs appointment since surgery. It went very well. Dr. said everything looks good and her curve is now 19 degrees from 61. That sounds good to me. The nurse took off all her steri strips that were left and cleaned her back Ouch! She wasn't happy about that. Dr. ordered physical therapy for a month starting next week. I was wondering if everyone else had to do that or if it's because she is still very stiff. I asked about her shoulders looking hunched forward when she walks and he said that she is doing that. She claims she is not, but i guess they will work on that in physical therapy as well. He said she is not ready to go back to school as of yet, but whenever she feels ready she can go, took her off percocet and switched to vicodin and to go off them when she feels ready and that was about it. We will go back in 3 months from now. Today was a good day for her and i think everyday she does a little more.
