This is the first time I have read through info from other scoliosis sugery folk. I have avoided it until now--denial is a powerful thing! I am six days away from surgery so I think its all becoming more real.
I am having an anterior release to fuse T9-L3 (I think I have the jargon right). I have been through the risks, etc over and over. At this point, my biggest anxiety booster is the post operative pain. Any words of wisdom or encouragement?
My biggest vanity concern is the potential increase in height. I am about six feet tall and love wearing heels. Somehow, though, the possibility of 6'2" seems shockingly and intolerably huge. How much difference did people really experience? My husband is 6'3" so, luckily, I have a little room to sprout up!
