Good morning Archie! I’m looking forward to seeing how much I’ve grown too! I’ve always thought I had a short torso and long legs. It wasn’t until last December that I was diagnosed with my scoliosis curve. It’s when I look back I can see it’s been getting worse.
From everything that I have researched and from what I’ve heard from others, I don’t think your age would be an issue with surgery as long as you have a support system in place.
Your caregiver will need to integrate into your hospital staff as you transition out after surgery.
Surgeon said my surgery went very well, my challenge is controlling the pain right now. That being said, there’s nothing that has happened so far that would prevent me from doing the surgery again. I know everything I’m feeling is related to the surgery.
Do you know the degree of your curvature?
