My surgery November 9, 2009
So, i havent posted on this for awhile because i haven’t really had anything to right about and i have been really busy. But, now I actually have to something to right about and some more spare time. ![]()
I will be have a spinal fusion surgery tomorrow at Children’s Hospital in Boston. I have scoliosis which is when you spine is crocked. My spine has become so bad that I cant wear a brace or anything and fix it. So, my only options are to have surgery or be paralyzed in the future which is totally out of the question. I have to be there early tomorrow boring around 6 a.m. and will be there until Saturday or Monday. They stay is from 5 to 7 days depending on your body and how everything goes. I’m soo scared about this cause i hate hospitals in general and i hate pain. So, those too things that don’t mix too good together.
For the surgery they have to cut down my whole back and insert two rods on both sides of my spine. They then screw the rods to me spine and stitch my back up. Ewww! It gives me shivers just thinking about it! lol
Well with all of this happening I was thinking that i could post what is going on, on her! Since I have to be home from school for 6 weeks I will be very bored and this will give to me something to do to pass time.
Talk to you later! It may be a week or so before I update cause I don’t think there are computers in the hospital at least not for me to use.
P.S. i just realized that it has been exactly a year since i posted last. WOW didnt seem like that long. oops!

You should write like… Day 1 after surgery and write as much with as many details as you can. And every day just wrtite something new. Write about your pain, the fun things you did, how crazy you get on the meds
