Operation 1966, Fused from T4 to L3, had Harrington rods inserted. Originally had an 85 degree Thoracic curve with lumbar scoliosis as well but had a good correction.
Perfectly normal life till 1997 but now in a lot of pain daily. Consider myself very fortunate though. -

Kaizan, all the very best for tomorrow. I hope the nerves have been replaced with a desire to just have it over with. Very soon you'll be on the other side, putting all your energy into the recovery, and enjoying knowing that you are now straighter and probably a little taller! I'll be thinking of you.

Less than 2 weeks to go...........
I'm getting nervous!! June 29th! UPDATE: They're going in through 4 small incisions on my side to remove the bottom 4 discs. THEN going in posterior T2-HOPEFULLY L5!!! He's evaluating my MRI right now to see if we can avoid the sacrum.
I haven't been on here in like 2 months or something... how is everyone?? I feel like I've missed so much!!!
