Yesterday I had a checkup with a member of my surgeon's team for the first time in over a decade. I was diagnosed as straight, which is news to me! 🏳️‍🌈

I commend anyone that can struggle through a workout with scoliosis/a spinal fusion. The fact that 99% of my gym doesn't know that I have steel rods bolted to my spine makes me feel like a badass. And it should for you too.
