A Mom, Wife, Ballerina and Scoliosis Warrior
I have attempted to write this post for 4 days now. This will be my last post before the infamous surgery. I can’t say I am too thrilled about it. I thought my anxiety was bad last week. However, this week, it has gone to a whole new level. After having a very public panic attack in the […]

A day shy of 2 weeks until the “Big Day.” I will admit, it hasn’t been easy for me this last week. Crying, panic attacks and sleepless nights are the norm now. I feel like a such a wuss. I know there are plenty of people all over the world who have worse situations they […]

Back in March, after I decided on a surgery date, Neil and I planned a weekend trip to one of our favorite places, Carmel. We thought it would be nice to have a weekend together beforehand and there is no better place for us than to visit the place Neil proposed to me (Jamaica, where we […]

A picture tells a story just as well as, if not better than, a lot of written words. My house is surrounded with pictures of our family, the kids, and Neil and me. I use our photos as artwork on the walls maybe more than I should. However, walking by them each day makes me smile. […]

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 […]

After speaking with my doctor, inversion therapy was recommended. Some people, especially with back pain, can see a real difference after daily use of one of these tables. The main reason I was willing to try it though, was that using this table can help stretch my spine which in turn can possibly get me another […]
