Getting Scared......
Well next tuesday im getting my bending X-rays done so that will determine how much of my curve he can correct. But im getting more scared for the fact that on November 2nd i will be seeing my specialist to make a date for my surgery... which ill prob get upset about but then again i could be relieved since it will all be booked in and all i have to do is wait for that date to come. Even though by doctor said this surgery isn't urgent but i did say to him im only 21 yrs old i would rather have it now then when im in my 30's and funny he agreed saying the younger you have it the quicker the recovery.
I have so much faith in my doc and i've heard from a lot of people thats his the best. One lady that runs a Scoliosis Organisation here in Australia say half of the adults in Melbourne go to see him cos he also does revision surgery too.
I think the main factor is you need to trust your surgeon and for me to do a lot of research and to hear from others how good your surgeon is really makes you feel a whole lot better.
Anyway just had to get my thoughts out.

I totally understand how you feel. I'm 27 and everyone says it is better to do it now than wait. I also get scared when I have to go back to talk to the surgeon or get a second opinion. I feel like I'm emotionally feeling better about surgery and then get upset again when I see a doctor and "face reality" so to speak. Best of luck!
