Hii everyone I just wanted to say in case anyone wonders why I don’t reply for a while, tomorrow im having my operation for scoliosis which is quite big, so I might not be active for a while, idk exactly how long yet!
Anyway im feeling alright right now actually because I’ve managed to accept and calm my anxiety (a while back when I first found out I had to have it I couldn’t stop crying because I was really scared of the risks but I’ve realised this is the best choice for me and im going to a really good hospital and they know what they’re doing), so I’m happy im feeling a bit better about it now.
I’m supposed to be back from the hospital on around the 27th so I’ll update you
I hope everyone’s doing alright ❤️

I came back home yesterday and it’s been so much better than being at hospital. Luckily everything went really well, no complications and so far everything’s healing well!
The pain has been up and down and so has my mood (sometimes it hurts so much I start crying and I’ve been getting a bit annoyed because i currently cant sit anywhere comfortably and i would want to start catching up with my school work soon but i physically cant) but the pain is getting better.
For a while I couldn’t eat without feeling sick but im improving and i can now walk down my street and everyday im getting a bit further.
It sounds like things are steadily improving even though there are still some difficult obstacles to work with. Bravo on being able to walk down the street now!! That's huge
I hope you're being kind and gentle to yourself as you navigate this journey of healing
KEEP GOING YOU'RE DOING AMAZING!!!!!!!!
