Im 22 weeks post op only 2 more weeks untill im officially 6month post op! I cannot believe how fast its going I go see my consultant again in February with my twin sister who has her first appointment with a scoliosis specialist, we have been waiting for her referral for a while now and my consultant said we would be willing to see us both at the same time as it would be a lot easier for us both, We have known she has scoliosis since late 2012/ early 2013 but the orthopaedic specialist she saw at the time wanted her to try physio for at least 6months before going to see a scoliosis specialist! She saw a pain management type consultant in September/October 2013 and he also told us she has Scheuermanns Kyphosis curve like me but hers is 69degrees. After my operation her back became more noticeable to us so we have being pushing to see a specialist to see how things are and where she stands with everything. Whatever happens she knows im always there to support her:)
The last time I saw my consultant (November) he gave me some tablets because I was being sick and bringing acid type stuff up every day or so (gross I know!) and he said if it didn't stop after the length of time I was taking the tablets for I would have to have a camera in my stomach to see if everything was ok... I really don't want the camera thingy and I took the last tablet yesterday im so worried its going to start happening all over again!
since I haven't put any photos up lately I thought id share what my scar looks like a fews after the operation and what it looked like in late December and one of my latest Xrays.
