Spinal Fusion Surgery 

At age 14, I had Scoliosis Surgery to reduce the curve in the top half of my spine  from 50 degrees to 13 degrees, not expecting the bottom curve to continue (which at the time was approx 13 degrees). 17 years later, here we are again and my curve was worse at 53 degrees and rotating in my body, leaving no choice but to repeat the surgery. After removing some of the old stuff and adding some new hardware, 10 hours later and 5 pints of blood-the results are AMAZING! My curve degree went from 53 to 18 degrees and my hump is gone. I feel like a new me:)
