I think you should flash them for us anyway.

I had a 90 degrees scoliosis. This is a picture after my Spinal Fusion...I'd be dead without it. Now my scoliosis is only, roughly, 45 degrees.

I'm Dutch and we recently found my great grandfather's real and fake passport (he was Jewish). We sent it to a museum with the whole story. Have you thought about doing something like that? Do you have any interesting artifacts from that time?

Hi!

I also have a scoliosis, but it is caused by a muscle illness. I had my spinal fusion when I was 17 years old. So there was no need for me to have multiple operations as my body was, almost completely, grown up.

Here is an x-ray.

I know this might sound strange, but I spent most of my youth playing video games and surfing the internet. My only social contacts were from school and I only saw them there. So when I finished high-school, my life became very lonely.

Try to find a hobby which gets you out of the house. The sooner, the better. My life became a lot nicer once I joined a foosball (table soccer) club. It turns out that people with a scoliosis (depending on the curve) actually have a slight advantage playing. They naturally have a posture that enables them to view the field very effectively. Right now, my team calls me "the secret weapon" xD

Foosball is interesting as it is mostly played in pubs. So you have to enter a social area. You will find out that people with a disability are actually very welcomed guests, even if the pub seems sketchy.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me ;D

My father simply contacted a Dutch museum and asked if they were interested in adding it to their collection. The museum were indeed interested, however, only if he also had an interesting story to the passport.
