Today I finally got rid of my brace!!! The reason was not because I dont need it but right before surgery they want to clear my back of all acne (sort of gross, but true). So today I got a surprise visit to the dermitologist because the docters were freaking out about my back because during surgery they didnt want any bacteria affecting my surgery. So now I am on 6 pills a day. 4-iron, 2-back acne stuff. They dont want me to wear my brace because first of all surgery is in 2 weeks and the medicine (topical lotion) will work better if it can "breathe". my back also cant sweat because that will just make more bacteria. I guess what I am trying to say is because of my back gross stuff I no longer have to wear my brace!
I actually have mixed emotions. I am so happy to wear normal clothes again before surgery, and I can act myself without people finding out about my brace. But on the other hand I miss my brace. I know compared to others I havent worn it as much (one year) but I actually feel empty with out it...kinda weird I know. Right now as I type I feel really weird without it and I feel like something is wrong and I need to put my brace on. My back sort of hurts too, but I still cant believe I was more sad then happy when I found out I couldnt wear my brace anymore. Check in soon!
