Friendships are for life not just for Christmas
There were lots of messages in there but nothing that I could see about scoliosis, so I decided to join up and post my own message and see if I got any response, I had nothing to loose and just maybe someone might come forward.
To my joy I had had a reply from a lady (Di) who's son Daniel had CP and scoliosis, and had gone through the surgery I was waiting for, I thought wow my prays have been answered, so I replied straightaway, and this is were the friendship started. We sent each other emails and chatted about her son's experiences and I started to feel comfortable about what I was going to face. Once I had got her email, I decided to add it to my messenger on the off chance she might also have messenger and we could engage in live chat, then one Saturday I noticed her email address sign in and I was so pleased, it was great to be able to chat to each other like this and we became great friends and still are. I had lots of questions and some of them Di answered through her own experiences with her son, and gave me some tips for while I was in hospital which was great.
My surgery date came and I knew I wouldn't beable to chat to Di which I was a bit upset about, but I knew our friendship would hold and it sure did, because not only did Di write to me but she rang the ward regularly to see how I was doing ? and then some nights she would ring home and talk to mum, this helped mum a lot becuase it was a stressful time for her but at least she had comfort in talking to Di and knowing that I was going to come out on top like her son did. Di's son Daniel had had the spinal surgery the year before me.
