The morning of...

I woke up this morning really well rested, had a good nights sleep. I'm feeling ok, glad this long wait is nearly over. Still can't believe this is happening though, but it will be a good thing for me. Thanks to everyone who is sending me their good wishes today.

This is before I had any surgery on my back. It's looking at it front on. You can see the base of the spine is where it connects to my pelvis, and then how the top is out of line with the bottom, This made it look like I had one big hip, because my ribcage was off to one side.

Here is how my spine looks now, you can see that the part that has the rods is straight, then at the top the unfused part goes off at a different angle. The surgery tomorrow is to fix that, by putting a rod from about 2 vertebrae up and 3 or 4 below the junction.
