Bracing for Impact


Well, I was fitted for my back brace yesterday. All I can say about that experience is-yuck I have to wear a back brace. There is nothing sexy or exciting about that…

There is a silver lining, however. I was told I will not have to wear it lying down, sleeping, or reclining. I will only have to don this belted black beauty when standing, moving about, or sitting up. Hallelujah!! I had been imaging many sleepless nights, gloved in ridged plastic—but, alas this will not be!

Since I will be wearing this brace for 90 days post op, I think it is only appropriate that I name her (after all, we will be pretty close) . Therefore, I dub thee Snuggles.

Snuggles will be coming with me to the hospital and we will unite in the effort of healing, happiness, and harmony together. Let’s do this, Snuggles!
