It's been so long since my journey started. Eight long months of fundraising and preparation all building up to my surgery. And now I'm here, on the 3rd of August 2018, packing my bags ready to fly over to Germany for Anterior Scoliosis Correction. It feels so surreal that this is all so close to coming to an end. This is it. I'm just 120 hours away from no longer having a severe 50 degree curve to my spine. I'm still finding it so hard to process it all; it's so hard to comprehend.
We've packed everything we can think to bring. From 3 different types of pillow to chewing gum, I've got the lot. There are so many helpful videos and lists online telling us what to bring, what to expect and what to do after my surgery. We've taken them very literally and have packed everything that has been recommended. I'm worried about the recovery and the pain but honestly, at this point, I just can't wait to get it over and done with! It's been such a long time coming and I'm looking forward to never really having to worry about it again.
It never fails to astound me how far we've come and how many people have put in so much effort to help me reach my goal and so I just want to say a massive thank you to anyone who has:
