SORRY!

Hi guys,i apologise for the delay in my writing as i have had exams, and have been sick.
Anyway, so my dad did organise the X-RAY and i had utdone. The horror on my parents face scaring me more than the angriest face could have. I had scoliosis and had it extremely bad. My mother straight away got to research on how to calculate the size of the curves. They were massive each at 46 degrees.

My father (being the ever influential doctor that he is) organised an appointment with one of the most regarded orthopaedic surgeons in Sydney. The day of the appointment i got ready to go and have a brace fitted, as i thought that it could be corrected. Was i wrong as ever. Firstly the doctor told me to strip down ti my undies so he could examine me. After an examination an a moment of thought, he said "a brace will not work, he needs surgery." I just took it on the chin. Who cares it won't be any time soon. Wrong again. He said that if left too long without surgery it would progress and soon become in-operable. There was an opening on the 24th of October, a mere month after finding out it even existed. I would miss out on my yearly exams and have le last term of school off. Here is the worst part, it was not one operation, but two.
