Today marks 3, THREE years of getting my brace. Three years since I thought I was completely done. I wanted nothing to do with this, and I wanted it to be done. I've come so far. I am so happy now. A year ago today I was in a hospital room, getting ready to go into an MRI - a machine that is sort of like an x-ray but for your 'squishy parts' like your spinal chord. - and I was scared to death. Looking back I wish I could go give myself a hug, and tell myself what I am telling you. It's OKAY to NOT be okay right now. It will be scary, you will be unhappy at first, but when you learn how strong you truly are it all becomes..bearable. So, dear 2010 me, trust me. It's all okay now..
Myself..
