I totaly empathize

Hey...I feel your pain.
I don't get stares on a regular basis, but once in church after mass this lady comes up to me and goes in a a really loud voice "my! that is some brace thing you have! What on earth did you do oto yourself?"
So, I had to explain that I have scoliosis, and the brace was to prevent surgery. I would just ignore these people. They have nooo idea what we all go through.

Hey, so I'm Rebecca, I'm 20 and I wore a Boston Brace for one year, and then a Cheneau brace for 5+ years. The Cheneau changed my life. I now am out of brace full time!!!! Its amazing. For all my scoli-girls (and guys of course) hang in there - the day you get your brace off is the best feeling ever. All the years of wearing it won't matter when that day comes. amo vobis!
