"Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough."

Ernest Hemingway (via infinite-paradox)

Some news…

Hey guys,

Soo, I have some news for y’all.

I might get another surgery to correct the bursa inflammation in my back that causes me pain.

But I guess we’ll see.

scoliosishealth: Loving this 3D tattoo, very unique I have never seen one with the rods and screws.

drowning-in-drunk-sincerity:

today i met a 4 year old who had scoliosis surgery. his dad said that it’s his first of many. he doesn’t have rods in his back like i do, but we have matching scars.

mexicandiarrhea:

But I just walked completely unassisted and now I’m getting all emotional because I walked in a loOP BY MYSELF FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DAYS WITH NO NURSES OR ANYTHING.. MAYBE THIS RECOVERY WILL GET EASIER AFTER ALL

Im 6 years post op…

staryysky:

I’m still getting a burning sensation in the back of my neck and shooting pains down the left side of my spine.

Does anyone else still get a lot of pain so long after surgery? I’m getting quite worried now… :(

neon-w4ve:

I posted a pic of my scar on instagram.
i admit it looked gross.
but some stranger had the nerve to comment ‘eww’ and then ‘you’re a monster’
I didnt react but they don’t understand it’s hard to deal with having this. its not something I chose and its not something I can remove so I want to show everyone and be proud. but it’s so difficult with people like that in the world.

sorry for the rant! follow me on instagram @zoe_wain
