Chapter Text
I remember the journey all too well.
Way too well to be precise.
( Sometime in June 2021)
I was having a horse back riding lesson on a chestnut gelding, named Oats.
As I rode around my instructor which is Wanda had noticed my right rein kept on getting shorter even if I fixed it every single time.
All three of us (me, my mom and Wanda) were purely confused like how would my rein be getting shorter. I clearly remembered that i never moved my hands to cause that.
A couple of days later I was playing at the computer on my favorite horse game. I was then interrupted by my mom as she noticed my posture.
So she brought me into her room and asked me to bend over. Which revealed my right shoulder blade sticking out alot.
She was concerned at this, so later in the fall she had brought me to a chiropractor to check it out. We went there and she had said it could be Scoliosis.
So she referred us to an x-ray, which i got it done and we saw a 50 degree curved spine on the xray.
I got referred to Dr. Christopher William Reilly who is a head of the BCCH orthopedic clinic in Vancouver
In April 2022 I went to Vancouver for the first time! And I gotta say I love taking the sky train around the city.
Anyways I met Dr. Reilly for the first time and hes very nice!
For the appointment I got an xray of my spine
And that's when I was told i needed to get spinal fusion to correct my spine.
