Hi, This is my first post. My 15 y.o daughter had a spinal fusion, T2 to L3, Oct 19..so tomorrow it will be three weeks. She is going to start going back to school this week..slowly...one or two classes per day. Seems like as the mom, there is always something to worry about...first the surgery. Now thank God that's over-that was the hardest thing. Then the first week or two of recovery, the incision site...the reactions to medication (very nauseous)..the loss of appetite/loss of weight...and I wonder what is ahead. Even though we were prepared for surgery, I don't think you can really prepare for how major it really is.. and the impact, afterwards. Especially for her....the emotional impact. She wonders when she will be back to normal. I have to remind her it's only been a few weeks.I wonder if those of you whose children have had the surgery have anything to say about the adjustment period for them, after surgery.
