I wanted to cry watching you in the hospital - I can't imagine how overwhelming that first week must have been for you. So incredible to see your friends and family rally around you, and awesome that you were able to make them proud by pushing through even when it was tough. I'm moving to Bangkok next week, so also very grateful for all the foodie spots you showed!

[@pslifeco]

ahh getting emotional reading this 😭 your kind words honestly made sharing these vulnerable moments worth it 🤍🤍 so so grateful for our little community 🥺 & welcome to bangkok!!

[@ritercureg]

So happy that the surgery was successful🎉 in the past I completely ruled out the idea of getting surgery for my scoliosis due to fear but now am going to seriously think about it and visit a doctor. You’re so strong n awesome, all the best to u❤❤❤

[@pslifeco]

Thankyou 🥺 I truly hope the best for you too 🤍🤍 Always happy to share as much as i can if it's helpful in anyway to my scoli-fam!

[@LuccaRPG]

This is like the nicest hospital I've ever seen. You even get netflix? What is this sorcery? When I had mine done the most exciting thing I would get is jello and popsicles.

[@pslifeco]

🤣🤣 I definitely feel so so grateful for the hospital and their medical team! 🥺❤️

[@perroguerrero9568]

I'm currently fighting wiith a L5S1 disc herniation. Your video really gives me hope in getting better and healing. A fusion surgery from T3 to L3 is definitely a tough and long journey for you, but I am glad that you made it through. Keep up with your vlogs as I look forward to see more of it in the future. Wish the best to you!

[@pslifeco]

oh no, sorry to hear you're going through it too 🥺 just wanted to let you know i'm proud of you!! you are so so strong 🤍🤍

[@perroguerrero9568]

@@pslifeco Thank you for your warm message! I’m also in my 20s and it is definitely a struggle to experience pain from disc herniation at such a young age. I guess we aren’t the lucky ones, but we can still make our lives better. As long as there’s hope, I believe we all have a bright future.

9 months post op from my surgery (which unfortunately was unsuccessful). I’m glad to hear yours went well though, it’s so tough, but should be worth it ❤❤

[@missmaiadel]

Why it was unsuccessful? I will do this surgery very soon and I'm very nervous.

Sending you lots of love and support! ❤️❤️

@@pslifeco I am curious, did you have moderate-severe height loss and bulges or protrusions in the thoracic? Thanks for the video. It's rare to see what it's like from the patient's angle.
