I haven’t told many people but late last year my son (now 15) was diagnosed with scoliosis by our family physician during his annual physical. It is mild and will hopefully stay that way but we are keeping a close eye on it. I was diagnosed at 12 when a nurse came to gym class. I don’t believe they do that anymore but they should. Early detection is very important. Check your child or request that your physician does.

Good news! I am scheduled for surgery February 23rd. I will be having anterior/posterior Lumbar fusion. This will greatly ease the pain that I have from the previous spinal instrumentation and fusion surgery that I had for my scoliosis 20+ years ago. It will be a lengthy recovery but I am ready to get my life back!!
