Shower and pills.

During my shower this evening I was sitting on my shower chair (I don’t need it anymore Im just lazy) thinking back to the first time I took a shower after my surgery. I believe it was two days after and it felt nice to get clean and move around a little but it was also very painful washing my self and learning how to do everything again. At that time I was worried that it would never be the same again but tonight I was reminded how far I have come and how little I do think about my back anymore. My life has almost gone back to normal after four months and I can’t wait for the day to be fully off the pain medication. I have decreased my dosage a lot, I’m down to three a day and hopefully next week I can bring that number down to two. My goal is to be off of them fully by my six month mark.

Hump.

Here is some before and afters of my rib hump. They said to fully get rid of the rib hump they would take a few ribs, which would make my recovery harder then it already was. I told them only do it if needed. As happy as I am with my new physical appearance I did this surgery for health reasons and rib removal wasn't necessary. Now I can stand in front on the mirror and pick myself apart and find the parts of my body that don't meet my approval and I can find that hump that's barley visible. But I've never been more happy with my appearance and I've never had this kind of confidence.

Posture

Isn't it amazing!!!

Great things.

I got an email the other day from the Baylor Scoliosis Center telling me that I might be their next model for them! How cool is that?! I’m not sure if any of you noticed but I’ve seen their ads all over the place, magazines, billboards, and even t.v. It’s always been a dream of mine to be a model, I knew it was never possible because of my deformity but because of it I may actually get a chance! Hopefully I can help someone get the courage to do something about their scoliosis. I was afraid for to long and I’m so glad I did it.
