Looking back

                 Hello everyone, Today i wanted to talk to you all about a fairly new treatment for scoliosis patients, called spinal tethering surgery. Spinal tethering surgery, is a less invasive alternative to spinal fusion. Just like spinal fusion and all other surgeries, tethering still has risks/ advantages and disadvantages towards the procedure, for example tethering reduces the amount of blood a patient may loose whilst in theatre and has a shorter recovery time post surgery.

I typically have dry skin, meaning I always need to keep on top of moisturising, as I found that without it makeup clings to my dry patches.
