My life with scoliosis

When I was about 4 years old, my mother started to wonder if something was wrong with my back. And my visits to different doctors started.
The first doctor was our familydoc, dr Byhre. He send us to Drammen to dr Bille (I think that was his name), who send us to Oslo to Sophies Minde, and professor Alving.
They found out on the exrays that I had 40+ degrees in both curves (my spine looks like an S), and thought that I should have a brace of plaster. So when I was 7 years old I had to wear plaster from my right knee, round my body and over my lest shoulder! Not good for a little girl,but with this brace I learned how to use my mothers bicycle :-) I had started in school,but the headmaster wouldn't risk having me at school so I got a privat teacher!

After the plaster I got Blounts brace and after a while Milwaukee. Both looked like an ancient tortureinstrument :-/

When I was 15 years old I didn't want to use the brace anymore. At that time the curves had increesed to 60+! Now, when I'm 55, my curves are 88 and 85.....
