Holy cow, Ron - I had
no idea this was going on!!! 'Just stumbled onto this thread a few seconds ago. Praise God all is obviously going well! (I thought I was going to be reading about 'surgery' on an SLC, GT40 or ...?! in 'Sydney', Australia!)
I'm going to mention this just
in case (fat chance!) Sydney's docs haven't. May I suggest she train herself to always stand with her weight
evenly placed on both feet? 'Teenage girls always seen to stand on just one leg/foot or the other with the non weight-bearing leg slightly bent at the knee and ankle...and that side of the hip angled downward toward the ground. 'Know the 'pose' I'm describing?
'Reason I bring this up is because our eldest daughter developed "functional scoliosis" in her teens brought on
BY standing that way...and
only because of that. 'Took her some time to correct it with exercises...and on occasion I
still catch her standing that way at age 40!
Anyway, doing the above
ought to help 'the cause'...it 'darned sure couldn't do any harm. Ask her docs. (Edit: And yes, I know the rods darn sure ought to guarantee all this will happen automatically, but, still...)
Just my unsolicited $.02.
(Sydney ['love that name!] is an absolute DOLL, by-the-way!)
