Llweyn,

Thanks for the info. I ordered the book yesterday. Did you ever read it?

Look as though there is a lot in there - I hope to learn something.

Thanks again,

Robin

You're welcome Robin. I haven't read the book yet since it was the first

time I saw anything about from . Being in Canada, I wasn't sure if I

could order it through the site. Let me know what you think about the book

when you receive it. It would be nice if there was a book review by

scoliosis patients, not experts, to be able to check better about the

resources available, since it is us, scoli's that have to live with this

condition.

Llweyn,

I finished reading Scoliosis Surgery: The Definitive Patients Guide some time

ago. I'm going through my saved e-mails today because I am finally seeing my

ortho doctor tomorrow. I made the appointment back in September, but the doc is

well worth the wait.

I found the book to be very straightforward and honest and very helpful. I will

read it again and have recommended it to various people inquiring about their

own Scoliosis. I'm glad to see a book written by an adult with Scoliosis that

had surgery, so much of what is out there is written for Adolescents.

I'll post a message following my appointment with what he says regarding surgery

- have the curves progressed? Does he recommend surgery now, if not how long can

I wait, etc....

Robin,

Good luck with your appointment. I have since read the book myself and found

it very helpful, along with Racine's list of Preparing for Surgery.

I'm getting more testing, etc. done, along with seeing a neurosurgeon, while

waiting to see the ortho, in Vancouver. It is definitely a process/journey

which has got me started in organizing a chapter of the Scoliosis

Association in BC since there is not much information/support for the past

and present patients.
