  • Sorry to hear Chey is in pain. It really wore Kate down when she went back to school. Just the long seated time (90 min classes) was tough on her back. She got used to it fast, and soon enough all was good again.

    I drove her too and from school the rest of the year instead of using the bus. Here there are too many twists, turns and bumps on the way. No seatbelts either on our buses. We only had April -> mid June left to the school year tho.

    Hope she feels better today!

    • just wanted to comment too that the bus ride for my son was also too much initially and I ended up having to drive him to school for a couple months. The worst part of school was the uncomfortable chair backs and even now there are issues with chair backs as he still has a significant ribhump
