screws and rods

My cousin Alyssa just went through an amazing long corrective surgery for her scoliosis. It’s been less than a week since she has gone under the knife, and she is already walking on her own… she is so strong and brave, it’s really amazing. Another remarkable thing is this X-Ray of her back after the surgery…. 5 screws and 1 rod later. Click the picture to enlarge

This is my spine. Cool huh?

I got it done by Mr Lam, he's great. He's in to minimal invasive and minimal access spine surgery which I had.

If you can't tell, I HAD scoliosis.

My cuzin has it, mum, aunty and grandma. I just got lucky didn't I lol!

Correction: Lumbar spine, T11-L3. For kyphoscoliosis!

I'll show my scar soon and tell the story!...
