Mike,
When my son was 16, he had a 54 degree curve. Rods were put in and 7 days later he walked out of the hospital on his own. He was opened up from the base of his neck to his left hip. Bone from his hip and bone bank were also used to fuse his spine. He recovered very quickly He grew a couple inches getting straightened up. His mobility was affected a little, but not as much as you would think. Most of your bending is done at the hip, so you will do fine. You will be able to do everything you have always did, just with a straight back, and no twisting. Growith will stop in your back, but everything else will continue until you quit growing. Prayers are with you!
