Yay! One year anniversary!

[Susie*Bee]

Thanks so much!

Thank you, all, for your well wishes and very generous thoughts. I am glad if the Lord can use me here on the forum as encouragement to others. I just know that you have all enriched my life and my walk through this scoli journey, and you are the blessing to me...

Yes, we've been through a lot this year, Patty... we and so many others. It feels good to have one year under my belt, but oh, there's a lot more ahead till I feel "recovered"! And as I've said before, I think it's more like "changed"-- but for the better. We have to be adapters, don't we?! I discovered the other night that I can't bend over the kitchen table to do a poster... unless I do it differently than before. I think that might be how I strained my back, although I tried to turn the poster and work just close to me... I don't know. Some of us have such long fusions!!!

C&C--I loved the ecard! I could "almost" smell the roses!

Big hugs and my best to all of you-- gotta run now-- off to PT.

PS--I think I'll bookmark this page for those "down" days when you get to feeling discouraged. These caring thoughts are enough to buoy anyone up!!! Thanks again!

Congratulations Susie! I'm so happy for you (and right behind you). I'm glad to hear you doing so well and I also want to thank you for all the scoli friendship and support over this past year. Go celebrate some more!
Best,
Anya

Nice to see that you are still on the forum offering help and support to others even though the worst is over for you.

Hope the dinner out was wonderful.

Susie,

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you and proud of you. Like others have said, your constant support, positive attitude, and seemingly endless patience has been so helpful to so many of us, myself included!

Thank you

Yeah! It sort of flies, doesn't it? I swear I just barely joined this forum, and you and others are talking about it being a year already! It's not easy, but it's not impossible, and I hope all the future surgery folks can read threads like this and feel the support of this site, and of people like you.
Congratulations!!!

Susie,
Congratulations on the big milestone. I'm beginning to realize that the encouragement and support one receives post-op is possibly even more valuable than the pre-op kindnesses. I have relied on this forum and the comments of the post-op's to help me get through some really difficult days - and you are always here!!! Your positive attitude and willingness to share is a blessing to all who read your posts. Thank you for contributing even though you are well past the early recovery stages.

Me too

Hey, Susie -
