The normally friendly nurse (the one who asks the preliminary questions and weighs the kids-I doubt she's an RN) was not so friendly yesterday, and I can't help but take it personally. I have been there around seven times in the past six months. Karl's going to have to do the next couple trips, and if he can't, I'll reschedule. It's awkward!
Anyway, the doctor thinks Taryn is mostly through growing (I grew until 16, so I think he's wrong, but whatever) and the scoliosis won't get much worse. We were sent to have an X-Ray to see how bad it was, but I haven't heard anything about it. I am sort of annoyed, because I really think she has another year of growing, which means another year of the curve worsening, but who am I to argue? And the normally nice doctor was rushed and uninterested, and it sort of ticked me off. Maybe it isn't a serious condition, but it's my daughter, and I don't want her back deformed.
But...maybe I am wrong. If it stays like it is, it shouldn't pose much of a problem until she gets older and weaker, so that's nice. All Taryn really cares about is being able to stay in her cheer, but frankly I wish she couldn't! It's so expensive, and she wants to join the true competitive team, instead of the performance (which is like parttime competitive) which is two or three times as much. I just can't do it.
Feeling stressed today!

I wish she liked school cheer. So much cheaper. I get that she doesn't like sports (aside of cheer), but she could fake it. But she likes cheer as a sport and not a recreation.
