Dena Pilevsky\\xa0had one question for the surgeon,\\xa0right\\xa0before he cut open her neck and rebuilt it with titanium rods, screws and plates. \\u201cCan I wear\\xa0my own fabulous hospital gown?\\u201d\\xa0

Who could say no to that?

That\\xa0was her fifth\\xa0cervical spinal\\xa0surgery.\\xa0

Dena\\u2019s neck was ruined due to a faulty shoulder guard on a roller coaster.\\xa0The damaged disc held out\\xa0until she was pregnant with her second child.\\xa0Dena\\xa0turned the wrong way and her disk ruptured, nearly paralyzing her.\\xa0

Dena sculpted, went scuba diving and fell in love with fashion. All that, along with a laundry list of dreams\\xa0and grandiose plans,\\xa0fell apart as she\\xa0was\\xa0confined to\\xa0walker or\\xa0a wheelchair.\\xa0

After 10 years of chronic pain\\xa0and four unsuccessful surgeries, she\\xa0found the strength to literally crawl to a new surgeon and undertake her most\\xa0extensive surgery\\xa0yet.

It didn\\u2019t fix her, but it gave her the ability to start a new chapter\\xa0in her life.

Dena\\xa0walked\\xa0out of the fire\\xa0and with the support of her husband and five children she plunged\\xa0into\\xa0the world of fashion.\\xa0She became a motivational speaker and started her own Fashion & Beauty Blog, @TheperfecteyeNY and\\xa0Theperfecteye.com.

Her message is simple:\\xa0If you let\\xa0color into\\xa0your life,\\xa0it\\xa0will\\xa0heal\\xa0you.\\xa0

If you look fabulous.\\xa0

If you\\xa0think fabulous.\\xa0

You will\\xa0feel\\xa0fabulous!\\xa0
