A Mom, Wife, Ballerina and Scoliosis Warrior
Hello All, I left off in the last post with April just getting her PICC line. After her PICC line, April’s NG tube was still producing a lot of bile and she was still extremely nauseous. April, even with the NG tube in place and sucking out the contents of her stomach, was still having […]

Here we are again in the same familiar place with me hijacking April’s blog to give an update on what has happened since I left everyone last night. So yesterday April was moved up to what they call a post surgical diet 2 which includes all liquids, some raw fruits, raw veggies, crackers, pudding, and […]

April is sleeping and my mind is racing. Now that April is well, as in she is alive and is in no current danger, what is next. Next, obviously is healing. The easy part will be her healing from her incisions, the disecting through muscle, the rods and screws being placed in her back, the […]

2 weeks have passed and I put writing on the back burner. It has been so crazy busy that I haven’t felt the urge to write. I am not sure if that is good or bad. I don’t want this to ever feel like a chore and so I write when I really feel the need […]

I am a little behind writing this post. It was migraine central over here this week and I wasn’t able to get much done; plus staring at a computer screen typing wasn’t going to help either. Migraines definitely are connected to my back issue and for the most part, I can handle it. However, this […]

Since going public with this blog, I have met some pretty amazing and inspiring people who have given me some advice regarding surgery. I have also been able to share my story with hundreds of people many of whom have scoliosis and needed someone to talk to and have now decided to go get their spines checked out. […]

Being so busy has helped me keep my mind off of my impending surgery. My ballet school performances are coming up in June and this time of year is always stressful for me. Even though I love what I do, making sure everything is ordered, t-shirt designing, programs, costume alterations and then getting through rehearsals and […]

This post is really just a mix of things that went on during last week. Monday, the surgery scheduler called and my Pre-OP was scheduled in June. It was definitely overwhelming once I hung up and realized that this is not very far off at all. I always thought I had more time and that this […]
