Update from me75 I had my scoliosis surgery 9/28/23 the doctor had to do a lot more than he had planned it took him 14 hours to do my surgery , he took out my pain stimulator and all hardware from previous back surgeries he had to build a cage in my lumbar spine in order to put new hardware and spacers in thoracic spine then he put rods and screws and bolts in every vertebrae in my spine from bottom of my neck to my tailbone and pelvis . I was in ICU for 2 days had 4 pints of blood and 3 drains in my back . I stay in Tirr Rehabilitation in Memorial Hermann Hospital for 14 days and now I have Home Healthcare for 2 months . I go back to Doctor Quinn in Houston Tx. 11/20 for more X-rays . I’m doing pretty good right now a lot better than I thought I would I’ve learned how to walk again and had to learn how to bend over from hips and not waste , I can get up and down out of bed by myself with help of bed rail my pain level now is usually a 2-3 on a scale of 10 . I thank God for all he has done and is going to do for me , it takes a lot of prayer and determination to go through this kind of surgery . I’m sending X-rays I hope I’ve helped someone God Bless and last but not least my sweet husband has been with me all the way through this . He has taken care of the house work , cooking and helped me bathe and dress myself and keep up with medication and all his prayers to thank God for him

Wow! You're amazing. So excited to hear that you're home and continuing to recover! And that's awesome that you're able to get out of bed by yourself! Take care and God bless.
