Travelling & Spondylolithesis

Hello there! 

So this blog has been a long time in the making! I’ve thought about writing one before but never took the steps to start it. However right now I am at a point in my life where i'm both incredibly scared and excited for whats around the corner. Just over a week ago, I graduated with a degree in Photography and in just under a week I will face spinal surgery to correct my Spondylolithesis. After I recover from that I hope to travel and find a job, therefore I want to share this journey with anyone and everyone who is interested. 

I want this blog to mainly share the best things about life - Travelling! Discovering new places, new worlds to explore. Hopefully offering some insight into the best places to see and the best time to go see them. However my main reason for starting this blog today is in a few days time, I am going to have an L5 S1 spinal fusion for my spondylolithesis. I have searched the internet far and wide reading people’s stories and experiences to gain knowledge and perspective and overall prepare myself for whats to come. However I struggled to find a case where the person was born with the condition and chose to have an elected surgery like myself rather than those that have had an accident and forced to have surgery in order to recover. Im hoping that by writing about my journey, it will help anyone else that potentially has to go make this decision and go down this path. 

I hope you join me on this journey and are as excited (and nervous) as I am to see whats around the corner. My next couple of posts will be on my recent trip to Greece and more in depth about my Spondylolithesis/ Spinal Fusion; what it is and how I've come to the decision of surgery. 

TTFN
