I am thankful that doctors found my scoliosis when they did, and that I was able to get treatment. I'm thankful that my scoliosis doctors and my orthotists knew how to best treat me. I'm thankful that the brace did as it was supposed to, and I didn't have spinal fusion surgery in elementary school. I'm thankful for my doctors who check up on me every year. I'm thankful for their support of my journey: my surgeon advocating every option other than surgery, my orthotist for supporting a physical therapist and a chiropractor. I'm thankful for my parents always looking out for me and my future. I'm thankful for my mom scouring the internet and finding the CLEAR Institute. I'm thankful for the alternative options that I have been given.
Moreover, I'm thankful for all the things that my scoliosis has taught me. I'm thankful for my dedication to wearing the brace for 22 hours per day for 3 years. I'm thankful for the compassion I have developed for those who, like me, are different. I'm thankful for the confidence that I have developed in myself in making my different "normal." I'm thankful for my determination to be myself, regardless of any condition.
Some days I may complain about back pain or disfigurement, about not being straight or having to do exercises; but overall, I have so much to be thankful for. From my perspective, I can have many more thanks than complaints.
I have Proven Beyond A Doubt, Idiopathic Scoliosis & ALL Types of Scoliosis. Are Most Positively Caused By An INJURY!!! After An Entire Year of letting My Child be treated by the Medical Community, that saw Such Spectacularly Horrible Results. I was able to Completely STOP the Progression, And REDUCE the Angle. All of my findings are at: SCOLIOSISPREVENTION.ORG Please Contact Me, To Help Me Confirm My Findings at: ScoliosisPrevention-NOW@yahoo.com

ReplyDeleteHey there. My name's Mikaela. :)
I have scoliosis and a blog about it as well... I haven't really got any followers yet, because I haven't promoted it yet. Here's the link if you want to check it out:

The reason I'm writing is because I recently got inspired to create this survey. I was wondering if you'd be open to posting it on your blog for your readers to fill out? Or send to your scoliosis network... Or even just to fill it out yourself? It would be a big help to me. I'm currently trying to figure out what I can do for work, since I can no longer sit or stand for long periods of time (due to my spine and related conditions). I have a business idea related to this survey that I want to try to pursue.
Here's the survey:

Thanks very much for your time!
