      From leah14130 November 15

      Wow, Piper definitly got alot taller!! Halloween went good for me, i like run or anything. I was just really tired afterwerds, My friends are really supportive, and helpul, sometimes they like get more scared then me. But some kids can get really like stupid!!! My one friend seriously has no idea what she is talking about, I just got braces like 2 weeks ago, and she was telling me that braces are gonna hert more than my surgery, becasue i will be awake for braces and i was sleeping for the surgery. And like last Friday(thats when my class has gym)since i abviously cant participate in gym i just sit there and watch them(i feel so stupid becasue i dont know what to do) And my friend says leah, stop using your surgery as an excuse!!!you can do gym!!!1 And when she says stuff like that, it makes me so mad, cuz she has no idea what shes saying.

      From Tiph October 17

      I know this is a little late, but my daughter had the titanium rods and a 9 hour operation, The first 3-4 days were traumatic but there was lots of pain relief whenever she needed it. She was up and walking about, stiffly for a few days, but within a week of being home she was back to her normal life. She did get tired and had to rest a bit, but was able to shower, wash her hair, do all of those teenage girl things on her own with no problem. Now, 3 months, on you would never know she had even had it done!

    • Get Well Soon!

      From leah14130 October 14

      I hope you feel better
      Best wishes
      your friend
