Hello again,
It has been an incredibly long time since my last post. I apologize for that. As I have begun to move around more I find I have neglected posting on here. I have started another blog though and since it is winter I seem to have alot more free time! lol
Okay now for a quick recap. Well Summer 09 went pretty well and I enjoyed being able to be out and about more and more. I went into town more often and enjoyed it thoroughly! I grew almost 400 plants from seed and overwhelmed myself terribly but enjoyed it mostly. Growing plants are amazing therapy for me. It was a short summer though. Winter seemed to end late and start early. I had an appt to see my specialist initially in August but he cancelled on me a couple of times and it was incredibly frustrating because I actually needed to see him but I got in to see him in September. It was a quick visit as he was in a hurry so sadly I didn't get a chance to discuss everything but most of the stuff was disscussed. Also unfortunately for some reason I felt he was dissapointed in my level of improvement since the last appt but I can not be sure. He may have just been having a bad day. Anyways he asked me to come back in 4 months which saddened me but I tried not to show it because I was expecting him to say 6months. I wasn't able to find out why he requested to see me sooner than I had hoped he would suggest. This was on my mind for a couple of weeks before I finally let it go and I vowed to be further ahead by my next appointment that he would be proud of my improvements. I have pushed myself as much as possible so that I could have more good news to share with him. I had hoped to be at least volunteering by now. I am not at that point yet but I am happy to say that now I can last in a grocery store for about an hour before my back starts to spasm! YAY! Also I went skating today which is also an amazing step forward as well! I am quite proud of myself! I am incredibly sore now but I made it through skating! I skated for about 15minutes I believe. I tried to keep an eye on the time but I sort of lost track. This is something that a few months ago would not have been possible for me so I am very proud of myself. I just hope that my specialist feels the same. Thanks for listening! This concludes the recap. lol

My Journey with Kyphosis
Hello and Welcome.
I was diagnosed with Kyphosis in 2005 and had my first appointment with my specialist in 2006 and learned I had a curve of about 80 degrees I believe. I had my surgery to correct my Kyphosis on October 15, 2007 and in December 2007 I had complications and required more surgery on August 14, 2008. I am currently recovering from the surgery. I have always had problems with my back as well as a curve in my spine but I wasn't diagnosed until I was 22 years old. I have created this blog to hopefully bring a bit of awareness to the disorder as well as keep friends and family up to date on how I am doing. This is my own personal journey with a disorder that is not always well understood. I would like to stress something though-I could not have gotten through all of this without the strong support of my family. I can't stress that enough! They have been there to support me every single day and it made everything that much easier to tackle. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and I hope that maybe even one person may learn or benefit from it.
