Ahhhh I was just talking with him and sent a half face snap like I usually do and he viewed it and then started typing then stopped typing. 5 mins later he started typing and he said as i quote, “You’re very pretty. I just thought I’d mention that.” And I’m FREAKING OUT. Hes called me interesting but meant it as a compliment byt hes never called me pretty like holy shittttt

Hey so I’m in grade 11 and theres a grade 12 in my chem and independent class (you pick a courss and do it online in a computer lab).

Anywho I haven’t really talked to him (I only met him when school started a few weeks ago). And we take the same route from chem to the online class and usually I end up holding the door open for him and he says thank you and that’s that.

Well on the weekend I sent him a follow request on insta and he followed me back within like idk 2 hours. And my friend told me I should find ways to talk to him. So that’s what I did today.

I caught up to him after chem and started chatting with him and omg hes so sweet and he seemed happy enough to talk to me because he smiled and laughed at one point and when we got to the class I said “hey have a great rest of your day.” He turned around and smiled when he said “you too.”

And I posted a hockey story on insta and deadass not even a minute after it uploaded he was the first to see it. Coincidence? Most likely. But stillll

Edit: my heart was pounding for like 5 minutes after I talked to him 😭

Okay so Tuesday was my first day back to school and theres a guy whos a year older than me in my chem 11 class (I’m grade 11 and hes grade 12) and let’s call him E. Hes also in my independent class (you do the coursw on your own on a computer).

And I think hes pretty cute. But in a nerdy way, yk? Hes also pretty awkward and a little shy and quiet. E is also like a good height for me. I’m 5’1” and if I had to guess, hes about 5’7” ish. He also has manners because I held the door open for him the other day and he said thank you (cant say I know many guys at my school who say thank you for that). And I respect that he did that. He also has really pretty blue eyes too and it’s like gahhh.

It’s also been a while since I’ve had a crush so I have no idea if it’s attraction or if it’s early stages of a crush.

I also kinda made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t peruse anyone until I’m asked out because ive only ever been rejected and that kinda sucks. So if it blossoms into a crush, should I try to get to know him??

He also seems a little more chatty in smaller groups of people because in chem it was assigned randomized seating and we were put together and we had to collaborate with our other table mate and he still seemed shy but he talked a little.

In the last few days ive developed a mild achy pain in my hip and it only starts when I lay on my side. I’m 4 months post op and this is new. Havent told my mom yet just in case if it’s nothing. My next appointment with my surgeon isnt until November. Do other people have this??

>!They named the baby Jackson. That makes me so happy but I’m sobbing. I’m sad about what happened to him but I really liked that they brought that in!<

Hi I’m 16 and none of my friends plan stuff. We’ve been out of school since late June and only once has one of them initiated plans. Theres 7 of us btw. Ive probably planned 10 ish hangouts and I’m tired of being the only one who makes plans.

I get it. Two of them are working a lot and one doenst have a phone she can coordinate plans.

My mom is also on me about not hanging out with them. Like what does she want me to do when they can get rides and have a phone to make those plans (with the exception of the one).

I’m just tired of being the one to always reach out. What should I do?

Woah can’t believe it’s already been that long 😭 I remember when it was post op day 2 and thinking well this is gonna be a longggg six months. I’ll admit the first 2 weeks were hell but I met an online friend and he made time seem to go by quicker. And since then, time has kinda flown by.

I last saw my surgeon 6 weeks ago for the 6 week appointment. It was kinda crazy because the orthopedic clinic was hectic today and when we finally got called to go into the doctors office, we were expecting the physiotherapist but we didn’t even see her 😭 my surgeon just popped in and we weren’t expecting that lmao.

Today me and my mom learned that I’m missing a screw because it was hard to get it in there due to my curvature being so severe. And because of that, ky surgeon wants me to be very cautious of my lumbar where I’m missing the screw. And also because my scoliosis was so severe (100° thoracic and 80° lumbar), I’m going to be about 1 month behind most people who have it. Which is wild to me because I was leaving the hopsital post op day 4 after my second surgery and I’m told most people leave post op day 5-7 ish. My family was also told to plan for 10 days. So I guess it just depends on how well your surgery went and how willing you are to push yourself.

Anywho, he seemed very happy with my progress and how far I’ve come along from where I started.

Sorry for the random chatting (I do that a lot lol 😭). If anyone ever needs someone to talk to no matter where they are in their journey with scoliosis, dm me and id be happy to chat with you 🙃

Hi guys! I’m 3 months post op and see my surgeon next week. Prior to surgery, my right shoulder really protruded outwards because my spine was obviously pushing that out. But since then, it’s noticeably gone down and I was wondering if that would ever go away completely. It’s still uncomfortable to press my back against a flat surface like a wall or on a floor. I’m going to be asking my surgeon about this next week as well. Thanks in advance!

At least assuming we re-sign Graffer

Hii I’m 16F and just wanna talk to ppl 😭

Some of my interests are hockey (no, I don’t play), animals, reading, writing stories, horses, and volleyball. Lemme know if any of those resonate with you!!

16f and bored af. I’m into writing, reading, hockey, talking about animals. Down to talk about anything atp (even the whether lol 😭)

At the end of grade 9, I asked out a guy who had given me idk signs that he liked me back and I knew he was gonna be moving away in a few months but I still asked him out. He was very mature about it all and said he didn’t want to start something when he knew he was moving.

And he moved to freaking Germany of all places (I’m in Canada so Germany is quite a ways away). I kept him added on snap and I guess we left our locations on for each other idk and the other day I NOTICED HE WAS BACK IN THE SAME TOWN. Now idk if it’s just visiting or if he’s moving back. I do kinda hope hes moving back and that hes still the sweet guy but now we’re going into grade 11 and it’s very possible hes changed.

I know his dad moved around quite a bit for work but maybe he found something here and theyre moving back?? I’m not sure 😭 but his last location is about a 5 ish minute drive from my house

Edit: just wanted to add, if he is moving back, should I try again…?

Hi gang, I’m 16F and almost 10 weeks post op! This past week, Ive started going for walks on my treadmill. Usually 30 mins and walking at the third setting. It’s around 2 kilometers ish. I pop on my headphones and listen to an audiobook while I just walk. Ive found it feels really good to just walk since I can’t do too much besides walk, swim and bike ride (dont have a pool and dont have time to go to the local pool and don’t have a bike that works). I usually do it before bed so my muscles feel good and I find I actually sleep better.

I also do this on top of going for walks with my dogs daily which is about a kilometer. Also I’m trying to build my fitness back up in hopes that I can try out for the volleyball team in the fall (unlikely but still good to be active, especially with scoliosis).
