Yeah, Eugenie is a true princess and she is so brave. The other celebrity I like is Usain Bolt. He is the fastest man on earth even with scoliosis. He is truly inspiring!

Dr Samdani's PA called my mom today. She said my curve stays at 36 degrees, same as last year. I am now Risser 4.

Katrina, Welcome! Thanks for visiting my website. How exciting to be a high schooler!

Julie, Happy birthday! My brother is also a June baby. I like your T-shirt idea.

We drove 30 miles to Children's hospital scoliosis center to take my spine x-ray today, because that's the only location in our area which offers EOS x-ray. Dr. Samdani would like to see my x-ray every 6 months. My curve seems to be unchanged to me (now I am an experienced x-ray reader😀) My mom mailed my CD to Dr. S. I told the girl and her mom next to me in the x-ray waiting room that June is Scoliosis Awareness Month. She seems to be worried about wearing her new brace. I told her a few tricks on how to ease the brace, and my website as well.

That sounds lots of fun!

Congratulations! I feel so happy for you!

Hi, Katrina, Congratulations on your weaning from braces! You must be very excited. From what I have learned, a curve at less than 40 degrees at fully grown most likely will stay stable during adulthood. A curve more than 40 degrees may still get worse over the years. Good luck.

Elon, thanks for sharing. My mom told me she is a member of this group too😀

Hi, Julie. Facing fears isn't easy, and you are not alone. It's completely normal to be anxious. I woke up crying everyday before my surgery in 2019. I was scared, but now I know the surgery is good for me. If you like to chat, we can email or hangout.

Yeah, you are right!

Sabrina, thanks for your post. It's nice to know you too.
