my very own blog! 1st note...my opener

Hi all! Like anyone but me is reading this?! This will be my therapy....my journal of da spine!
Let me give you a little backround of what brought me to this crooked point in my life. At about 15, I was diagnosed with scoliosis. I went with my parents to NY Medical to see Dr. Engler(what a nice man he was-wonder if he is still living. Looked him up on the internet but no luck. Geez, he's got to be 80...) Anyhow, the answer was I needed a back brace. We went to Monsey,NJ to have a milwaukee brace made. Casted on my bod.....what an experience! Yuk! I wore it for about 2 years. It was kind of rough cause I had teeth braces too & all that metal on my body made me nervous in lightning storms. I did play tennis (on the High school team) with my brace. Learned a really cool backhand too! My highlight of the brace memories was having an hour out every day in the summer to swim-yippee! I also rememer Brian whatever, after a tennis match, putting his arm around me and feeling that solid hip. What a woman!
That's all I remember of that. The brace went in the garbage & I went on to college. It was said my curves balanced each other!
Well I went along livin' my life. Which I must say has been really good. I have a great husband & 2 really cute boys. they are 7 & 10. I would'nt change a thing... but I gotta tell you, that second pregnancy knocked my spine out a whack. That was 6 years ago. That's when I started feeling the old crooked spine ache. I belive that's when I lost height. Pregnancy does take its toll on us women. I made the right decision to hold at 2......& I could'nt be any happier!
