Today is the day

Good morning everyone. I am just about ready to leave the Pagoda Hotel for my back surgery at Kapiolani Hospital. I am scared but I know that this operation is necessary for me to get better. I will post my updates as often as I can, or my dad will if I cannot. I want to thank you all for your prayers. It really means a lot. Love you all!!

Welcome to my blog

After more than a year of many doctors appointments, the time has finally come for me to have surgery. I have been suffering from pain and nobody knew what it was. It held me back from doing a lot of things that I enjoyed to do. Such as playing sports, dancing hula and Tahitian, and other physical things. I can't walk for long distances or sit down for a long time because the pain would come back. When I found out I had scoliosis, it was a only minor curvature. As months went by, it became worst and worst. Right now, it is at a 48 degree curvature. Now I know that after tomorrow, my problems will hopefully be solved and I can start doing what I used to do. I am scared but I know the doctors at Kapiolani Hospital are the best in the state. I (or my dad) will be posting daily updates to this blog and you can email me at nicki_island_girl421@hotmail.com. I will see you all real soon. Thanks.
