Because of the skill of her surgeon, her pain was gone when she woke up from surgery. She is still pain-free and living life to the fullest. In her youth, Reba was diagnosed with Scoliosis. As she got older, she learned that she had a double curve and in her 40s she started having a lot of pain. In 2017, she realized that the pain was taking over her life, day and night.
