Babyboomer,

I concur with the others that it took great bravery to undergo more surgery, but what a victory for you.....I hope this is the last one ever and that your holidays are filled with uberhealing!!!

Thank-you all!

Thank to you all for the encouragement you are giving me. I am 2 weeks and 3 days out of surgery. The past couple days were a little tough. Probably did something to cause pain. Cause its been pretty bad. I also have a "funny smell" in my nose. Anybody ever have this happen? Hope nothing is wrong. I lost a couple crowns because of the surgery. I bit down hard apparently on the thing that they suck saliva out of your mouth, as I was in ICU.(so much for crowns) But I will call the Dr. if it doesn't go away. Anyway, its such a wicked surgery, that the body has lots to heal. Everyone have a good week-end. I will keep in touch. Thank-you so much ! babyboomer

Babyboomer--You are one brave soul. Congratulations on this second and now it seems very successful surgery. That's wonderful. Janet

How's It Going?

Hey Babyboomer16,
Do you have a curve in your lower back now like people who don't have scoliosis have? Or is your low back flast as a washboard like mine? I'm really glad you can stand up straight. That's great. Can you do it for very long? I'm sorry to appear so nosy, but if my rods went any higher they'd be in my neck, while all my curvature's from the waist down, so I guess my surgeon went up high enough, though I gotta tell you the top of the rods area gives me some pain now that I never had before surgery(ies). The dr. explained that the stress of motion has to be transferred to somewhere, and since my lower back is fused, the wiggle force goes to the top of the rods, which may be what's happening to youl Keep us posted. Wish I had your courage!
