Kickas.org Forums Treatments, Drugs and Alternatives Surgery Has anyone had Pedicle subtraction Osteotomy ?

Oh Molly, I am sorry but 'nil points pour vous' Nope not corset. And the picture of the girls, the second one is last year........ahaaaaaaaaaaa

Awwwww. Oh well. I never win stuff, not even points now...boo-hoo ^LOL^

Gals are, WOW. Thought it had summat to do with the hospital and presentations or summat like. You did not 'caption the photo' Nil point!

> "Odd though that after all that has happened, I am still thought of as tall."

Well that's because you ARE tall, silly!!

Hi Alan,
Yes I think people do think of me being tall people I know that is.Mind you so do I Its only really if I see my reflection I realise what a state Im in Bent and ugly what a combination.Because I try and correct my posture so I can look ahead I stick my stomach out and shoulders back I look like a heavy weight has dropped on my head and squashed me. I will get my wife to take a better photo and send it to mig so you will see what I mean.But be prepared It is not a pretty site makes me feel Ill when I see myself
Kevin

PS I wasent insulting you I was complimenting your wife lol

Hi Kevin,

I hope it's okay how I've cropped and resized your pics.. it just makes them easier to view together and fit the screen.

It really shows how much you have to compensate in second photo by leaning back, gosh that must put an enormous amount of pressure on your hips and knees to maintain that stance. I can see how it really helps you to see straight ahead tho. The level of your kyphosis appears to be more similar to one of our members JP. She had an osteotomy not that long ago I believe, Brad could tell you more since he has met her! If you're interested tho, you could try searching back for her pics.. username JustPeachy I think... but a little warning first, her posts include post-op pics that you may or may not wish to see.

Thank you for sharing these with us Kevin!

Thankyou mig
Not a nice picture to look at but shows what happens to a lot of us no wonder I get so depressed living and looking like that.When I think back to how I used to look wow cant say anymore.
Kevin

Fascinating stuff Kevin. Nothing quite like a side view of a spondylitic is there!! Cripes these pics take me back. You do well to retain your humour and to keep going.

No takers then for the red mark on the chest??? Well Mig might move in here for the points!!!

Have been yelled at and told off for not writing complete story, The gory bit is missing, What they did and how they did it........cripes well will write it but Kevin, no looking.lol

Thats ok Alan you write away I have made my mind up on what I am going to do so I will be reading It wont affect me or my decision.
Kevin

Is the red mark from were you was positioned on the operating table.
Kevin

Alan, look out, your pants are on fire again! Mine was a polite suggestion and I hope you will tell that part; it is pretty central to the whole theme of your story after all, what they did and how they did it.

Since Kevin has quickly jumped in with a guess about the red mark, I shall wait for you to score his answer and resist for now my desire to sweep up coveted points! Well, not that I was anticipating a windfall!

lol
