SCOLIOSIS STORIES

Basketball (diagnosis)

Okay, first me and my friends wanted to try out for the middle school basketball team. I needed to get a physical because i didn't have one.

When me and my mom were finally in the doctor's office, she did the usual stuff, blood pressure, heart beat, reflexes, all that stuff. Then, she asked me to lift up my shirt and bend down to touch my toes. As I did so, she looked kind of concerned. She told me to stand back up and she felt my spine and said, "I think you need to be somewhere else."

Of course I didn't know what the hell was going on. She wrote down an address on a piece of paper and explained what was happening to my mom outside of the room. Thx doc.

As we waited another 30 minutes in a waiting room for another doctor's office, my mom called me dad to tell him to come.

My name was called and I was sent to a little room to change into those hospital gowns where your whole ass is hanging out the back. After that the man told me to follow him to the xray room. I still didn't know why.

As the xray was happening my dad barges into the room and scares me. The doctor told me to step off the stool thing and go back to the little room to change again, while he can talk to my dad.

My mom stayed at the office, for some strange reason, while my dad took me home, FINALLY someone told me what I did that for. I just remember him explaining it to me and me staring out the window taking it all in.

BUT THAT NIGHT I cried and cried and cried. I though my life was over. Also i was very concerned about how my mom was going to give me back rubs...??? idek.

In case you were wondering, I didn't make the team.
