Hi,
I am a writer by profession and I have scoliosis. It might just be a pipedream, but I've been thinking about potentially combining the two to write a book about scoliosis. The question is what type of book is needed. I have read the great book that Dave Wolpert wrote about surgery, and I have read some of the wonderful blogs that many have created and am trying to figure out where my interest meets need.
My first thought would be to write a series of profiles about how people made the decision to have surgery or to do something else that brought them relief. A chapter would track an individual before and post surgery and show the difference in the life. I have not had surgery and am still contemplating the possibility, but have been impressed by the bravery of those who have and in how people have adapted after. I thought such a book would be interesting to people trying to make the decision as they could read the stories and see glimpses of themselves, and for a small secondary group, i would want to make the human interest stories compelling..
Just thinking about it, but am interested in the thoughts of this very vocal, savvy and brave group.
