this is amazing. i am an acute care PT, and work with so many people post-neurosurgery procedures like this- thank you for sharing. and although the pandemic did definitely play its part in your story, i am so grateful your surgery date was before the shutdown and hellscape of hospitals during the swell of the pandemic. praise for a continued, sweet, post op life!
That's incredible that you help so many people with your PT work, Rachel! I'm so grateful that my surgery date was pre-lockdown as well – I often think about what the outcome would have been had I delayed scheduling my date. Thank you so much for your sweet words and encouragement!
Thank you for sharing your story! Beautifully written. I suffer from scoliosis, and I know the pain...I've had doctors tell me to have surgery and not have surgery. I've found some solutions that work for now, but we will see what the future holds. I appreciate your brave story, though; it makes me feel less alone in this journey. xx
