I'm sorry, but the more I read these posts, the angrier I become. Last night I listened to Jane Fonda discuss her recent hip replacement surgery on the Larry King Show and comment on how wonderful it is that we are living at a time when we can have worn-out body parts easily replaced and within no time resume our lives pain free. Let's face it, ladies and gentlemen...when it comes to treating scoliosis, we are living in the Dark Ages. This is barbaric treatment!!! If more people were afflicted with this awful spine disease, I'm sure there would be treatment modes available today that are far less invasive, painful and life-altering. No wonder when I asked a surgeon what he would do if he had my spine, he commented that he would wait until he could no longer function and then have an operation. I guess by then you're just so beaten up from pain that you become desperate and will try anything. I recall reading one woman's story of her surgery and how she was actually disappointed when she realized she was in the recovery room and had survived the surgery. How sad. I could even go along with the pain and long recovery, if I knew that at last I was treated and all is well. But that's not the case. You don't know if down the road you're going to have to deal with more pain, side-effects, more surgeries, etc., etc.
Lord, give us strength.
