GD has scoliosis

Thats a great suggestion.

From a professional view I am well aware of scoliosis but I am 25 years out of daye and as nobody in my family developed it I had no reason to keep on top.

In those days a spinal fusion was carried out and a rod inserted. It did take many months to recover, but it was major surgery.

As you can see it hasn't affected Princess Eugenie at all, having had two lovely children.

The length of the wound can be a psychological problem but with time it fades.

"in my day" it was classed as everyday, normal surgery.

The RNOH hasn't chaned, I had both knees replaced there and the wards are astill tin huts!

By the strangest coincidence I was looking through my daughters books this morning and the first book I saw…was Deenie.

silverlining I am sorry, but you have lost me (not difficult) but I have no idea what Deenie means. I have never heard of it before.

I’ve sent you a PM
It corrected “brace” for “brave” ❤️Which most probably sums things up x

Charleygirl Deenie is a book about a young girl with scoliosis mentioned by someone a few posts back.

Thank you for the helpful suggestion of a book about a girl with scoliosis. It’s an excellent idea. I googled the book Deenie and found that it has been criticised heavily for inappropriate content about sexuality and puberty. Sadly not suitable for my DGD.

I didn’t realise that aonk, but there will be other books on the subject.
I hope you are feeling a bit better about the situation now you have had some feedback but I remember when my dd was diagnosed we felt quite alone.
