Hi Lisa,
That is very impressive!!! I couldn't even think of swinging a club at 1 year post.

Congratulations:)

I'm voting for the name change!!! It's unique and perfect:cool:!!!
Hang in there,
Shari

Sarah, I hope you continue to survive Irene's wrath!!! Thoughts and prayers go out to all in need.
I still look at myself in the mirror sometimes and think I look weird. I wonder if it's because...

The 'puffer fish' description made me laugh. Brought back some funny memories too.

Thanks I needed a chuckle,
Shari

I'm chiming in also. Having had a rough recovery myself. I found it much easier to express the good points, I didn't want to be responsible for someone not having the corrective surgery. In...

Karen,
I don't often look at pictures. I don't know why??? A weird mental thing I guess:eek: I have to say I am very happy I looked at your correction. All I can say is Wow, and congratulations....

Hi Donna,
I want to welcome you to this forum as well!!! It really is a very special feeling when we FINALLY find someone that understands. Even though we all share the scoliosis diagnosis, we are...

Still want to hear about that visit. And I just read your signature statement, and the hairs stood up on my arms!!!
:rolleyes:

Hi ADmoul,
I just read your thread and I am curious what your Doctor said about your situation???
Please let us know,
Shari

Hi Doreen,
I don't know anything about bone density & how it effects your surgery. I see your surgery is in a few days and I just wanted you to know that you will be in many of our thoughts and...

Hi bluestone,
I had a rough recovery, I have to repeat this, it's great to share just not wise to compare!!!:)
When I had to do things in the kitchen and I got tired or sore from standing to long,...

Wow Jenee,
That is amazing to me, and after only 6 months!!!:cool: In June I went on a "birding and butterfly" trip w/ one of my sisters, she's 6 years older than I, and I couldn't keep up w/ her. ...

You will be in my thoughts and prayers as well!!!

Shari

You amaze me G-nut!!! Very impressive.:D

I've learned that it's wise for us to be concerned and cautious. We are all going to have accidents. I've tried it both ways. Don't do things out of fear...(not living) and doing some of the...

Good memory Golfnut... It did take me a little while, but my swing in the last 2 years is as good if not better than pre-op. Of course not every time I go out, but on a good day I'm very happy. ...

Hi Judy,
I need to add my 2 cents as well. After years of searching and seeing many Doctors, I knew within the first 5-10 minutes that he was going to be the one.:)
Trust your gut, you'll know...

Congratulations! I still remember the 1st time I just tried to swing a club. I'm very happy for you...

Swing away,
Shari:)

Hi Singer,
This is the first time I've been here for a while, been busy w/ Mom. Your correction is absolutely great. I bet your singing like a Canary by now!!! I am so happy for you.

Wow,...

Hi Kristy,

That is terrific news. It's also a great thing to share here. Horseback riding seems too extreme for those of us that are post-oppies. It's always nice to know when milestones are...

Hi Tiffany,

I never intended to simplify your recovery. We know it's a hard surgery and recovery. But you are back to work after 9 weeks, I think that is remarkable.:)

You are a strong...

Hi Anne,

This a subject that comes up often, and your thread will be very helpful to so many people.:)

Thanks for sharing,
Shari

Tiffany,

What a great thread to start!!!! Not all of us have the same wonderful recovery, but, I have to let you know that you are giving alot of potential post-oppies a very good example. Stay...

Hi Rhy,

My abdomen was very swollen as well. It hurt so bad. I finally asked my Dr. if I could stop getting that IV fluid. Once he said yes, the swelling went down enough that my pain was...

Wow Jamie,

What a terrific thing to hear, and I am so shocked to see you on here so soon.

Blessings for you and your family,:)
