Sincere Thanks to all who donated to the hurricane relief funds!
Another scoliosis website group (http://www.scoliosis-support.org) is currently planning to do this... Currently they are trying to figure out fundraising/distribution etc....

Posterior Fusion and CD Horizon instrumentation T2-L1.
Surgery by Dr. Herkowitz- Beaumont Hospital of Royal Oak, Michigan
Excellent correction of 52 degree single left thoracolumbar curve. Slight curve remains in unfused lumbar region but seems stable.

I never thought of them making wristbands for scoliosis but that would be a really good idea. Please keep me posted about when they will be coming out or if they will even be coming out. Thanks!

scoliosis curve of 50-60 degrees
corrective surgery done at age 12( 2001), first surgery a screw went through a vertebra, was then closed up and then re-opened two days later.
After second surgery, fusion was a success.
Rods, hooks, and screws put in.
Fall of 2004 in volleyball, fractured three vertebra's, on June 2nd, 2005 surgery was completed to fix that, old rods were taken out and replaced by stronger ones.
Please keep us ALL informed--perhaps NSF could tell us on their website when these become available!? or post a thread about where they can be purchased, etc.
and Pat, do let us know...
Please if anyone has any information on these please contact me. I think that it is a great idea and I don't know why they aren't already on the market. Please contact me ASAP!!!
If anyone gets any more information on the bracelets please let us know. I am very excited to get one of these. Please notify us when they will be available for purchase. Thanks.

I heard the bracelets are going to be green, have the same 3 curves on them that the main site does and will be available soon. Is there any truth to this? I know there would be a huge interest in them if they were developed .
I agree, there would be a great interest in them. We need to get the word out about Scoliosis/Kyphosis because most people only learn about Scoliosis (and never heard the word Kyphosis unless diagnosed with it) when someone they love has been diagnosed with it.
