life long changes-fusion and decompression surgery

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I don't have a question, just a thought or a poem I made up.

I'm sure many of you who had decopression surgery and are fused can

relate to this...

I have accepted the fact that I can no longer look down and see the

first botton of a shirt, although from time to time, I want to say to

myself-I wish i could do that but this fusion is here to stay...Anyone

have a mirror I can use...I think.

When I'm at a social event or party and get up and dance, I can still

dance but in a totally differant way which at times feels like I am

moving in slow motion...This has come to be ok, although this change

has taken along time for me to be able to say its ok...

and last but oh no certainly not least...being able to stand straight

up into the air and walking straight feels like I am being pulled on a

string that goes from my head to my feet and having to look behind or

to my side, to the left or to the right, makes it seem like I am

spinning like a top to see who's there. All these adjustments that

have had to be made are easy to say ok to because I remind myself that

yes today is another better and brighter day than yesturday.

Just alittle pick me up poem I thought up to help keep my spirits up

when I don't see clear.

Hope you'll like it
