RE: roller coaster emotions

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Nope, you’re not the only one.

I am continually on the edge. Our circumstances are very different, but I

know many families in your similar situation and they also wonder when they

will be able to “get off” of the roller coaster. It’s

the fear of the unknown that makes us feel this way. Just know that you

are not the only one. That’s really why CAST was started. We

were tired of feeling so alone in our scoliosis journey, and wanted to be able

to talk with others who would understand. I am glad that you found CAST

and that it has provided solid info and support to you. Please don’t

ever hesitate in recommending changes to improve the group.

Sincerely,

HRH

I just read a couple posts about " emotional roller

coasters " and " feeling blue " and had to reply. I read the

posts constantly because there's great information, but for some reason it

never occurred to me that you parents have some of the same crazy feelings I

do. My craziness starts a couple days before we go to Chicago. I

get myself all worked up about packing bags and making sure my other daughter

is taken car of while I'm gone. It's not really that hard, but I make

myself so stressed out. I think alot of it is seeing my daughter go

through the casting, hoping for improvement, and worrying about what the doctor

will say. Traveling with a two year old just really is hard! Well I

think my craziness and stress is a combination of things, but I'm so glad to

find out that I'm not the only one who gets emotional at casting time.
