My name is Hanli and I have scoliosis and have been treated by Dr Koos Louw since I was 6 years old. I used to wear a brace, but since then my scoliosis had deteriorated. On 01 July 2010, I had scoliosis repair surgery at the Pretoria East Hospital. The operation lasted about 5 hours.

Wednesday 30June2010


A special hug from brother Jacques during visiting hours.  My mom took photos during the day as the Physio taught me how to move after the operation, as I got my ECG and blood tests (horrid!!!), but then she saved it all wrong and now I cannot insert it - anyway here is a few photos of my Admission day.
My operation is at 07h30 tomorrow and I will be out by about 14h30.
Going to settle down now and sleep - here is my "en-suite" room.  My mom's sharing the room with me tonight.  Goodnite all and thank you for all your support, phone calls and prayers.
