    I thought I would share some photos of me and my surgery so you have a face to the story.

    annabeller,

    Thanks for sharing those. I think you are beautiful in every one of them. I admire your resolve getting through everything. There must be something special about you to do that.

    You will get through this. It seems like your surgery was successful and you have your kids. That's what I would focus on in the recovery.

    I think you might need to get an opinion from an abdominal guy about why you have a bulge. It doesn't sound right and it seems like it should be fixable but I don't really know.

    This song came to mind when I read your story...

    Good luck. You are already a star.

    Sharon

      What a great song. Thank you. THat was very inspirational. I am really trying to let go of my past. It goes in waves of how I am now and what I used to be. But this is me now and I am not going away. So like that song everything comes and goes. And I guess this is just life. I was just hoping for a smoother life. LOL Don't we all.

        Woah, I need to come to Utah! You look fantastic!

        Seriously, I’m coming out in my RV and will visit a few scolis along the way in Sept. I will be headed to Park City and Aspen. Nan and Amy will be surprised....I can stop by.

        Try to hang in there, you are doing just fine. You cant keep up with the kids, forget it.

        Keep smiling, its part of scoliosis therapy! Its one step at a time. Accept the time it takes to recover.

        Always look forward, never look back. The smoother life will come.

        (I saw Meatloaf front row center stage in 1978, in NJ. We banged on the doors, and security told us it was our lucky day and let us in. I was so close that if he fell on me, I would have had my surgery back then.)

            Yes! And with security in the pit in front of the crowd. I was 3 feet away from him.

            I also saw Foreigner in the pit here in Reno, after Lou Gramm had is brain surgery.

            He had that look I will never ever forget. You only have it after your 2nd chance at life. Its an appreciation that many take for granted....

            Its in the eyes.
