I was just browsing through Facebook and noticed the date and suddenly realized that today is my 7 year anniversary! I never believed that I could overlook the date of my scoliosis surgery. Because of this forum, I had the courage to go through with the surgery. When you live in a small town, one usually doesn't know anyone else who has had scoliosis surgery. It helped me so much to get support from others going through the surgery at the same time as I was as well as those who had months or years of recovery. Being an avid golfer, it was hard to wait over a year before playing again, but it was so worth it! My rib hump is gone and my back is straight. I can stand for hours with no back pain, where 2-3 minutes of standing before surgery was painful. I am golfing, tap dancing, bike riding, gardening, etc. Life is good! Best of luck to all of you with upcoming surgeries and with your recoveries!
Dr. Lenke, my surgeon, is no longer in St. Louis so I will be seeing Dr. Gupta in two weeks for new x-rays. I hope I get a good report!
