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 ❤️

    Hey @stardust444 , thank you so much for keeping us updated <3 It sounds like there's been a lot going on for you lately, and it's so valid that you were feeling frightened. Dealing with healthcare procedures can feel a lot like letting go of control sometimes, which is scary. We'll all be thinking of you and will be delighted to catch up on the other side of your surgery.

    Take good care, @stardust444 and thanks for all the compassionate messages you've been posting on here lately as well as for opening up about yourself too.

    We care about you <3 Go easy with yourself and be sure to treat yourself to lots of cosy Netflix programmes, hot chocolates, allll to good stuff when you're recovering :3

    You've got this!!

    Hey @stardust444 by the time your probably reading this you may be in recovery and in hospital and I just wanted to say there's no rush to read this message. But I hope your doing okay right now. It sounds like a very big operation that you had to be fair and I can imagine that it will take some time to recover from the operation as well. Make sure to take care of yourself during and after the surgery especially as surgery can be a major and scary thing too to go through. I agree with everyone else here, make sure to also do things that you find relaxing as well. I hope the surgery went well. Speedy recovery <3.

    Sending hugs,

    sending lots of hugs

    Hi everyone! Thank you for all your kind messages, they made me feel a lot better ❤️
    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 <3

    I hope you're being kind and gentle to yourself as you navigate this journey of healing <3
