Meet Mia, Queen Bee of Everything Homeopathic.
The goddess of acupuncture, massage therapy and all the wonderful treatments that make all of my pain go away. Even if it’s just for a few hours, after an appointment with Mia, I am as malleable as Play-Doh, and I feel great.
Mia, "Queen Bee of everything Homeopathic."
For a short period, her magical rub makes me forget all about the titanium that aligns my spine, and let me tell you it’s sheer bliss.Thanks to all the wonderful social benefits of living in Sweden, I get Mia for nearly an hour for the grand price of roughly $13.00. Being a recent college graduate, I really can’t beat that. This morning I had an appointment with her, and up until 2pm, I felt fantastic. It wasn’t until I had to bend over that I was reminded of the pain in my hip, and the magic was over. It faded way too quickly.
Mia not only provides me with an excellent massage, she also always comes with words of wisdom. Today, she left me with something to consider, the possibility of having to be in a wheelchair when I decide to have a baby. That possibility has never occurred to me, and it left me feeling scared, and worried for what’s to come. The future. At this point, I probably am as flexible as Play-Doh in comparison to an older version of myself.

why would you have to be in a wheelchair if you had a baby?
Well it’s because of the pressure and strain it would put on my lower back. I have titanium almost all the way up and all the way down, which means that I have very little flexibility in my spine. When a women caries a baby, the spine usually adjusts to the curve of the baby pump, it kind of makes room for the baby. Since I lack flexibility, it means that a baby would really place a lot of strain on my lower back. I am not planning on having a baby any time soon, but when I do, I really hope I can make it through the entire nine months without the need for a wheel chair.
I know sometimes it can be hard on you.. I have a kyphosis curve over 100 and a lordosis curve greater than 50.. Over 11 back surgeries and I was able to have 2 little girls.. I didn’t really start to have back pain till about the 8th month.. It wasn’t too bad though. I was 90lbs before being pregnant and gained 20lbs.. I was huge for my size lol. I went into preterm labor at 36 wks. I know perfectly healthy people who had to be on bedrest, while I was perfectly fine.. Everyone is different so I wouldn’t worry about it too much :0)
Wow your an inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing this with me, you make me feel like anything is possible. I really hope it goes as well for me
Thanks :0) the doctors told me not to have kids too, but sometimes you just got to go with your gut feeling and hope for the best. They are now 3 and 1. I’ll be honest I do have more pain now and see my surgeon on the 16th so I may have more shifting but I would do it all again because my children are a blessing :0). Good luck and take care.
It’s true you do have to follow your gut feeling, somehow it manages to guide you in the right direction. It’s all kind of scary though, but hopefully it will work out for the best. Good luck with your appointment, and you really should tell your story. It sounds like an amazing story and I would love to read it!
Thanks.. Yea I might tell my story sometime.. It’s hard finding the time right now with active toddlers though lol. Do you like living over in Sweden? I always wondered how medical care was in another country
Oh, I can just imagine, you probably do not have ANY time! But I’m sure it’s a lot of fun in the process. I have a love-hate relationship with Sweden. Sometimes I love it , not only because of the benefits (you really feel taken care of) ,but also because Sweden has a very rich and traditional culture, its always a new and exciting experience. But then there is the down side, it’s very dark and COLD, it’s like living in Alaska. As for the Health care, well the most I will ever pay a year is around $140, everything after that is covered. The main problem with the health care system is that if the problem isn’t urgent you have to wait a while before being seen.
