MDJunction to me

"I found MDJunction at a time when I was struggling with so much. I
was so sick. I found a home, a place where people understood me, when
even my family doubted me. In MDJ, I found a place of refuge, love,
and support. I come here daily, to find my balance, to cope, and to
find that same support I've found from day 1. MDJ is my new family.
The friends I've made here will remain with me for a lifetime." (fluffyluggage)

Hey! I am 6months post op. When I went into surgery on Sep. 17th I was at 109 degrees. When I came out with 2 rods and 20 screws I was at a 62 degree. 4 months later I was at a 70 degree and now 6 months post op and I am at an 85 degree. My doctor says he has NEVER had a patient BEND their Titanum rods? He is going to be checking in with several other doctors across the U.S. to see if they have experienced this.

In the mean time he told me to go ahead and apply for disablity. I will for sure have to have another surgery just not sure when and where yet.
