YouTube Video...
So I know some of you might not exactly get my instructions on how to
go to the bathroom, so I made a YouTube video! Check it out!

Going to the Bathroom...
So I realized a few days ago that I’m not really posting what I
promised. So since I’m STILL trying to get this whole picture thing figured out
(but if anyone has any idea how to get it to work, PLEASE contact me! Remember,
my email’s in my bio), I’m going to put some help on.
So one of the things I
struggled with was the idea of going to the bathroom in public. Sometimes this
isn’t a problem, if you’re not being hurried and you can actually take the
brace off. But I realized this doesn’t quite work when, oh, I don’t know… You’re
in the seventh grade, it’s May and you have five minutes to take a break from
the bus which is driving you to Chicago to go to the bathroom. That is not
enough time for me to do my business regularly, let along with a brace on. Here’s
what I came up with:
How to Go to the Bathroom with a Brace On
Step 1: Unbuckle the brace. Don’t undo it all the way by taking it
out of the straps and stuff. Just pull up on the little black clip thing or you
know whatever you do to un-clip it.
Step 2: Pull the black clip thing as far to the left as possible so
that your strap is as long as it possibly can be.
Step 3: Tuck the straps in! Trust me on this one guys. You will never
see your straps the same if you get them in toilet water… Personal experience
here… (shudders)
Step 4: Go to the bathroom! It might be a bit uncomfortable, but
trust me guys; it’s the best I’ve got. You might have to lean forward a bit.
That’s cool.
Step 5: Once you are done and are going to redo your brace straps,
you might have to pull your black clip or whatever you have back a bit (or
towards the right) so that you can pull the strap to your cut-off line. You can
use anything that semi reflects your image to help you with this. Or if no
strangers are in the bathroom, you could use the mirror. Or just ask a friend
or whoever if you’re at the line. But for me, I’ve had my brace for about a
year now and I can just feel when I’m at my line so I really don’t need a
mirror anymore, but I do it if possible just to check.
Hope this helps! J

New Blogs...
Guess what? New blogs! Yay!
First is Claire’s. Claire subscribed to my blog and emailed me
(remember I LOVE to get emails) and told me to check out her blog (which I OF
COURSE did). I love both of her blogs already to be honest. I’m not really the most up-to-date kind of
person on all these skin care products and make-up and I just
really like her blog! So cute! Go take a look!

Saturday Scoliosis Marathon...
And last but certainly not least- my Saturday time… 2 hours 10
minutes and 16 seconds! Congratulations guys! You just finished a Scoliosis
Marathon!
There’s also something else I wanted to bring up. Recently I’ve
started tightening my brace a little bit past my mark that Brian (my awesome
possum brace guy) marked for me to go to every day. Thanks Brian! :D Anyways I
realized that we just wasted about 6-9 hours every day (depending on how much
you sleep J) not noticing we have the brace
on. What would happen if we all just tightened the brace maybe an inch past
your stopping point each night right before you went to bed? I’m just putting
some CRAZY ideas in your heads here guys! Just saying…
Remember, if you ever need to talk, feel free to email me about
anything! I love getting emails! :D Email’s in my profile box there on the
right hand side.

Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday Scoliosis Marathon...
Right, so I’ve had some late nights and haven’t found any time to
post so here goes… My Wednesday time was 1 hour, 14 minutes and 5 seconds!
I don’t exactly know why I make different posts for every day if I’m
posting them all on the same day. So my Thursday time was 1 hour 32 minutes and
57 seconds.
My Friday time was 2 hours 26 minutes and 8 seconds.

Tuesday Scoliosis Marathon...
Sorry I didn’t put my times on yesterday. I had a really late dance
class (even later than usual) and I was a walking zombie. I still am really. So
my time for yesterday (with one 1 hour dance class and one hour and a half one)
comes to 1 hour, 44 minutes and 51 seconds! Keep going guys!
P.S. I'll have to find my Monday time. I put it around here somewhere... :)

Well, yesterday actually marked the beginning of another Scoliosis

using it all day. -_- But my time was 39 minutes and 7 seconds! Yay! Remember if
you want to send in your times, I’d be happy to put them on! Just comment!
