This is my story of life in daily pain and hiding it well.

2 weeks and a day

May 10 2011

Its so hard to believe that in pretty much 2 weeks I'll be in St. Louis meeting with Dr. Lenke to schedule my surgery. It all seems so sureal actually. I never ever thought I'de considerdoing this but I honestly feel at this time in my life I dont have a choice. I feel so old and worn out from my back that I now feel its time. I'm so glad I have this board to come to. So many of you know how I feel right now and how I've felt my whole life as well. I'll be 37 this summer, I was diagnosed when I was 13 yrs old. Been dealing with this for so long now. I'm so ready for it to go away already! Of course I will keep all of you posted as time goes on.
