Oops....

Ok my friends, the day is slowly disappearing. I must divulge - I overdid it yesterday and ended the day in pain. You know, in bed with additional pain meds. So I learned a lesson - this really is a slow recovery and I need to slow down! It's just so hard. So I have made a GREAT attempt to keep today really slow and easy and that means minimizing the sitting. So my posting that will bring us back to March 15 will have to wait until tomorrow, so that I can prove to everyone that I really am serious about taking good care of myself. Why doesn't anyone believe me? I'm going to prove all you non-believers wrong!! So now I will go rest again. So tune in tomorrow......?

You'll never learn to take it slow. I suppose it just runs in our family!

Erica and Ben

June 26, 1992 ~ The day we took Ben home from the hospital. He was 4 days old - what a HUGE baby! However, he had already lost more than a pound. A first sign of the heartbreaking diagnosis that laid ahead. If I had only known then that in 2010 he'd be a strapping 5' 11" tall, healthy, smart and really good kid, a HS graduate heading off to college I could have avoided a lot of sleepless nights and a whole lot of stress. I tell him all of the time, God wanted him alive for a reason. My little man is on earth with a purpose and if only my Mother had lived long enough to enjoy him. Everyone that knew her knew she loved little boys best! He would have the apple of her eye and she probably would have spoiled him rotten!

Dr. Paul Harrington

The revolutionary orthopedic surgeon that was the inventor of the Harrington System. It was this sytem that "straightened" my life -so to speak- and yet in the end, ultimately caused it great harm. However, unlike many others, I harbour no ill feelings for this man at this time. If anything, I possess nothing but great respect and admiration for his ability to invent a different approach for scoliosis sufferer's. I don't believe he set out to do harm, but to do good. Aren't we all really just "guinea pigs" in medicine anyway?
