hey Jessica
from one to another...my real name is "jessica" but most call me "jess"...
i just wanted to say that feelings are not facts, they are just feelings, and everyone is entitled to them...so if your feelings were offended by someone's comment, i think you have a right to say so, and not owe anyone an apology for the way you FEEL!
as i wrote before, i think we are all trying to do the best we can with the difficult situations scoliosis creates...the expression "if it doesn't apply, let it fly" might be apt here...or "take what you like and leave the rest"....good 12 step sayings...because at the end of the day, we all make the best decisions we can...regardless of what others think, or say, or write about our choices...
and to KJD...if you were referring to what i wrote about 8 hours at nite, i was referring to back when i had to wear a nite guard for my TEETH...had nothing to do with my spine...i was comparing my lack of compliance with wearing a nite guard to another teen's lack of compliance with bracing...
i think sometimes some folks on forum, if upset, in pain, or seeing a child in pain, get a little...intense...with their opinions on things...
again, one can "take what you like and leave the rest"...i don't think anyone here is trying to force their opinions on bracing or surgery on anyone else....
