Hello Everyone,
Today is the first day I can sit up in a chair with my laptop! I am recovering from scoliosis reduction surgery. I am a 39 year old wife, mom and teacher. I underwent surgery May 26th, 2009 in Riverside CA. I had spinal fusion from my Thoracic 2 to Thoracic 12 to fix a 44 degree curve. I am looking forward to meeting new people who live with scoliosis or who are considering spinal fusion surgery. The road here has been difficult. It will be three weeks this Tuesday since my surgery.Everyday is a little better, but I am having trouble seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Please feel free to chat with me.

Keep posting! You can see some of the problems i have on my signature
It does need updating though
The latest thing is i need a new knee but i am to young but have to see a specialist about this
,the doctor says i may have to wait until it actually gives way on me
i am on 4 to 6 weeks rest with it because its so swollen
I also have to see another spinal specialist
, to see if he can do anything, the pain is so bad today
, he may say theres nothing he can do or offer me a fusion or remove the tumour from my spine
Remember you are not alone
