He feels my life as a young mom is therapy enough for now and that

the pain in my *cheek* is normal and should go away. If I need

therapy he may recomend it for me at the 6 month point. He says the

fact that I can shave my legs and clip my toes and do things pretty

normally is attributed to my age and that I am doing so well therapy

probably wont be needed. I am glad because the last thing I need is

more appointments to get in the way of life.

I am still on pain meds and am taking them differently so that I can

drive and not feel loopy. I am cutting them in half and taking small

amounts ion more frequent doses per DR recomandation. I plan on not

doing much for the holidays because that makes it easy and relaxing.

I saw my X-rays and it looks like I am help together with tinker

toys. Most of my rods are still there from my original fusion. My

neck has a GIANT curve in it but it is't causing me much issues so we

will watch it.

I hope every one has a great Thanksgiving.

Jolynn,

It's great to hear that you're feeling so well! I hope you have an

easy and stress-free holiday season. Do you have before & after x-

rays you could post? I also have luque rods and would really be

interested in seeing what you looked like both before and after your

surgery.

Hi ,

I don't have the before the surgeon still has those but they do

exist. I do have the after and will post them when my husband can

scan and down load them at work. It may be after the holidays.
