@nlback22 You are welcome. Please stay in touch. I am excited for you and the big positive change in your life. It's hard to imagine what that must feel like as I haven't had your experience with scoliosis over a lifetime. This is why I am here on Connect. My spine journey was different than yours and was a major life lesson to me in overcoming fear, and I was loosing the coordination in my arms and I am an artist and didn't want to accept that condition in my life. Getting back my strength and coordination was a profound change in my life, and I'm sure you are experiencing that feeling too, but in a different way. It's hard to describe it in words.

Sending you a hug
Jennifer

Thank you, Jennifer.
We are both testaments to dreams coming true at Mayo.

I am so happy that you were able to return to things that you love.

I still have a long ways to go. My husband and I have remained in Rochester for the initial stage of my recovery and to take advantage of the P.T. and O.T. I have my post-op with Dr. Fogelson on 7/24 and will be returning home 7/30.

I'll keep connected!

Best wishes to everyone!
