This Scar - Song

By -
This song appeared on our group Facebook group this morning and as I thought Lisa had done a grand job in singing about her scoliosis I wanted to share it here too, you can watch the video below

The Lyrics
Copyright 2008 Lisa Nicole Grace.
Lisa says "This is a song I wrote about my life long journey with scoliosis - curvature of the spine. This November marks my 8 year anniversary of my spinal fusion surgery"

This scar, tells a story
And it always reminds me
Of where I've been
This scar, runs from the nape of my neck
Down to the small of my back
And it's part of who I am

After nine long hours
Of blood, sweat and tears
My mama and my daddy
And a hundred prayers, I'm standing here
I'm standing here

With this scar,
That represents my life
A good old fashioned fight
A willingness to survive
This scar,
Says it's okay to be scared
As long as you're prepared
To learn how strong you are
This scar

This scar, taught me a lesson
That I won't be forgetting
Anytime soon
This scar, is turning eight years old
But it seems so long ago
That I was counting down the days to

Nine long hours
Of blood, sweat and tears
My mama and my daddy
And a hundred prayers, I'm standing here
I'm standing here

With this scar
That represents my life
A good old fashioned fight
The willingness to survive
This scar,
Says it's okay to be scared
As long as you're prepared
To learn how strong you are
This scar

~ piano solo~ (Brent Schaitel)

After nine long hours
Of blood, sweat and tears
My family and my friends
And five hundred prayers
I'm standing here
I'm standing here

With this scar,
That represents my life
A good old fashioned fight
The willingness to survive
This scar
Says it's okay to be scared
It's okay if you're scared
But be prepared

For this scar,
To represent your life
A good old fashioned fight
The willingness to survive
This scar
Says it's okay to be scared
As long as you're prepared
To learn how strong you are

This scar
This scar
This scar
This scar

Ugly Betty star Wilhelmina has Scoliosis

Ugly Betty star Vanessa Williams has Scoliosis. Before Vanessa became a famous star through her seasons of Ugly Betty she was to be a dancer. Vanessa was recently nominated for an Emmy for the 2nd time for her role as the wicked diva Wilhelmina Slater in Ugly Betty. For those of you who have not heard of Ugly Betty, it is an ABS comedy hit show dedicated to Mode magazine and the world of fashion. Vanessa Williams wanted to be a professional dander with the Joffrey Ballet until those plans were cut short by Scoliosis. (curvature of the spine) Vanessa is reported to have said "It derailed me for a while,". "It was so severe I had to have a spinal fusion where they put 8-inch metal rods and screws in my spine. I just took off one year where I didn't do any physical activity. But then, of course, I was terrified. It's so strange … It felt like having an operation and then healing and going back to your real body. It was really like having a new center of gravity and ...

Curving again?

By -

I have noticed just recently that I seem to be leaning left again and walking is becoming a real struggle, I only noticed this the other day when I had my jeans on and I saw myself in the mirror (not something I do very often especially as it is cold). I was shocked, my right side is fairly straight and flat (not too much flab) - my left side is almost folded in half and I can wedge my hand in between the fold that appears there - I look awful!!!!! Is it even possible for me to start curving again and my Scoliosis show signs again after a Harrington rod surgery 19 years ago? I never used to be conscious over my body years ago and I know it changes the older I get but I am no bigger than I was when I got married at age 24 and I am now 31, I hate my clothes I do not feel comfortable at all and I hate it when people look at me when I am walking down the street in a sideways crab walk!! I have even added a picture of my back, I never thought I would share that with the world because I am ...

Scoliosis and Memory Foam Mattresses

By -

I have been receiving many emails about memory foam and whether it actually works. I will let you into the secrets of my good night's sleep and what I think about memory foam and why it has helped me so much, for starters I no longer sleep with Valium, I simply don't need it. The memory foam that I sleep on was invented by a guy in the UK, who, unfortunately does not have the dollars behind him that his competitors like Tempur do, therefore he has not been as recognised as a brand name like he should have been - it's all down to money, and what a shame that is. I have heard great reports about Tempur mattresses and I have tried one, however, I have to say that their product is not as wonderful as the OroMed Sleep System that I use - you understand that this is MY personal opinion and I am entitled to have one ;) I started my quest for memory foam 4 years ago, I just couldn't sleep and was getting beyond my tether of walking around the house at night in tears because I ...
