“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.”
—Henry David Thoreau

This piece of art was created by TOPS friend and scoliosis fusioneer, Cindy Heidel .

What or who do you see in it?

In addition to being a talented artist, Cindy has also written a few guest blogs for us over the past couple years.

For a wild ride, check out her scoliosis discovery story, including milwaukee brace adventures and rebellious teen years. Link below for a good read.

Today I walked 2 kilometres stopping every so often to take some water and catch my breath as my lungs have been pushed in due to my scoliosis
I had scoliosis surgery 54 years ago and believe I am worse off than if I didn’t have surgery. My curve is much worse, I have a hump, flat back, twisted bowel and a fused spine
