Occupation	Gardener and Mother
Location	Margate, Kent, United Kingdom
Introduction	I'm 41, live in Margate, Kent with my partner of 12 years and my two boys, James 9 and a half and Matthew 7. I was diagnosed with Scoliosis around 1990, which is a curvature of the spine, and I had an operation in late 1994 to correct the curvature. They straightened my spine with a combination of metal rods attached either side and a bone graft and spinal fusion of the top half of my spine, using donated bone. I now suffer with chronic pain in the left side of my neck and shoulder, back pain throughout the length of my spine and pain in the left sacroiliac joint in my pelvis. So now I am a complete mess! I enjoy gardening which keeps me fit and have now had my own allotment for 3 years. I also love anything to do with nature:) Photography is also a hobby when I get the time! Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope its not too boring for you! Please feel free to comment. Shelley ________________________________
