It's so nice to meet you, @sherrym25! I CAN imagine how scoliosis curvature must have been such a negative part of your physical wellbeing. A childhood friend of 70 years and my hairdresser both underwent surgery for those as older adults in their 60's and like you, are so glad they got their "straight upright" lives back. Glad you are so happy with and grateful for your Mayo experience and able to support others. Wishing you a continued successful recovery and that you soon have two newly trained horses. I was the Spotlight person before you and I enjoyed reading the interviews of others. That has brought a new awareness of how Mayo helps people with such differing medical needs.
