I've had the scoliosis surgery 9\28 now on the road to recovery it has been rough but worth it to me.I was so humped over from broken vertebra in thoracic spine and L345 and s1 surgery .and so then had the scoliosis surgery because of so much pain and balance beening off . I have had a full scoliosis surgery from bottom of neck to tailbone it took 14 hours to do and 4 pints of blood and 5 days in hospital two of them in ICU then went to Tirr Rehabilitation for 10 days and now Home Health Care 3days a week for 3 months ,Medicare has paid for it all .It is had to get use to my body being different and had to learn new ways to doing things but I have a wonderful husband that helps me so much. I go back to doctor next week I'll post you to let you know what he says I hope I have helped you in some way to know what to do , I prayed a lot about it and I know God got me through it all and still is getting me through it all I know Jesus is the #1 Physician and was in surgery with me and sill helping now . Many blessings to you. Let me know what you decide.
