A Girl with Scoliosis (Part 14)

Aloha !

It's been a while I did not post any entries regarding to my scoliosis. I've decided to have surgery. My spine specialist suggests me to have the surgery in KL. I asked how about Jakarta since some of my friends had the surgery there and it went well. Moreover, I have my aunt in Jakarta to take care of my mother there. You know, during surgery, not only the patient that has to be taken care, but also the guardians. What I worry most is my mother. I might suffer some physical pain, but my mother's mental is the one needs to be prepared well. However, doctor said that even the doctors in Jakarta will suggest me to KL too after they see my case. So, I am still with my KL option. I am scheduled to meet my surgeon in July. Why July? I am a teacher and I have to wait until my students finish their semester exams.

Meanwhile, one of my scolioser friends recommends me to yoga. I was not interested at first since I have ever read only certain yoga can be conducted to scolioser. Wrong choice of yoga can lead to worsen my curve. A friend joined a class of yoga and she said it works well on her. She told me the yoga types. It is a rare type and I searched it thorough yoga centre in my city but I found nothing. That was how I gave up in yoga. Nah, this yoga my friend recommends one is yoga for scoliosis. Yes, YOGA FOR SCOLIOSIS. Plus, you know what? It's free. I was full of hesitation. How on earth someone wants to teach that rare type of yoga for free? In my thought, it must be for the first trial and to attract customers. With my stupid hesitation, I came and tried to join. Although it was only for trial, I want to try. My willing to get better is greater than my hesitation.  

So here I am after two meetings. My instructor conviced me that I can get lessen my degree in intensive training for months. Yoga works slowly but sure. I found it help to deal with my pain and keep my posture well. The instructor is very kind and supportive. It is really free. I was like stupid asking everyone whether it is really true. The fact is just there is still a sincere person who wants to help people. I found myself dumb in a moment. What the hell I thought everyone has something in their sleeves. There might be a lot of that kind of people in this cruel world but once again, I forget that we still have many sincere people.

Therefore, before I reach my schedule to have consultation, I will do this yoga as best as I can. I just feel like God shows me this path. I want to do what is in front of my eyes. Everything is unpredictable. Something great might be waiting for me. I still believe in miracles. Miracles do happen, don't they?
