Hello,
I am posting for the first time, although I have been viewing for awhile. My 14 year old daughter is scheduled for surgery on 11/4. She has been through 2 braces and now surgery. She was diagnosed when she was 11 yrs old. We were told that she just had one curve at the time that measured 27 degrees. Slowly increased to what it is now, 2 curves, that measure 33 degress and 53 degress. We have changed doctors. Long story. Started seeing the new doctor in July. He suggested surgery. He is the one who found the two curves and slight rotation. First available surgery date was 11/4. We had the pre-op on 10/13. He suggested fusing from T3 to L2. What do we need to expect? Will she eventually be able to return to the colorguard team with the band? How quickly do they recover? Her doctor has her returning to school around 11/30.
Sorry for all of the questions, I'm just feeling a little overwhelmed.
