Difficult to define Tamzin in any other terms than I've already done. She's not Tomboyish, more stylish; the wildcat only comes out when she's competing and even then, she does it quietly. More like my wife than me. Your niece sounds amazing, wild and free. That is Tamzin too. We live in the Black Mountains, on them, Brecon Beacons national park. Tamzin has done many solitary timed fast walks up the mountain IN THE DARK. Yeah, ok, "wildcat" works well!!!
As for depression, haven't seen a moment of it since the diagnosis--she's cried once because she can't run cross country this season and missed the track season in the summer. It's that spirit that would be crushed if we have to opt for surgery--this would only happen (I'm thinking) if her curves went ballistic again (can't see me allowing that), caused cardio-pulmonary problems, or the Chiari and SM caused worsening neurological problems. I 100% admire and agree with the decisions of every parent who has a child that has undergone surgery. That was the right decision. For us, in the last five months, I haven't read a single paper or a convincing argument or solid scientific basis for US to proceed to surgery (other than the above developments if they happen).
