    • Hug

      From Tiph October 17

      I know this is a little late, but my daughter had the titanium rods and a 9 hour operation, The first 3-4 days were traumatic but there was lots of pain relief whenever she needed it. She was up and walking about, stiffly for a few days, but within a week of being home she was back to her normal life. She did get tired and had to rest a bit, but was able to shower, wash her hair, do all of those teenage girl things on her own with no problem. Now, 3 months, on you would never know she had even had it done!

      Don't worry your daughter will do fine. My mom and I were worried about my surgery but now that I'm on the road to recovery my mom and I are glad I had this done because now I'm feeling more confident because I'm not worried if people can see that I have scoliosis. If your daughter needs anyone to talk to I'm here and love to help and give advice....Good Luck to your daughter.
