Scoliosis: Life, Support & Friends

Hey everyone, I have just come back from a short break, we left the morning after my last blog post actually.

We were so tired and really needed a break, moving house, working hard, furnishing another house, organising it for rent, fighting daily pain with Scoliosis and a host of other activities, putting it mildly - bushed!
