I just want to second the comment about your writing. It's very very good, have you thought about writing professionally?

I was in your shoes. Also female, also have scoliosis, also wore the full brace, but I was 12. They threw rocks at me too, and because for some reason my brace really curved out at the chest area, they called me "football tits" middle school was awesome. Oh god yes the sweating...... I live in Phoenix, AZ, where it's already really hot. My brace also gave me blisters anywhere it touched my skin.

Glad your fusion went well and your are doing so good. My parents refused mine as a child. I'm 35 now are really suffering badly. Hope to get my surgery in the next few years.

I rate and rate and rate things and I still get recommended shows/movies I hate even after rating them a 1. Will there ever be a "don't show me this again" option?

Also been a subscriber since nearly the start when it was just DVD's. Love Netflix, people are crazy for complaining about the slight price increase. I've never had a problem, customer service has always been awesome. Even when 8 DVD's were stolen from our mailbox.

I go back and forth on that. A lot of people who had the fusion done in the 90's have pretty bad problems now and need it re-done. On the other hand I have an auto-immune disease now that's making getting surgery really complicated... So 50/50 but thanks for the support!

You should really look into it, either professionally or even just starting a blog or something.
