So, I have thoracic hyperkyphosis. Basically, its an exaggerated curve in the thoracic part of my spine that makes me hunch over like a little old lady. And because your spine is not really supposed to do that, its causing muscle fatigue, which is the source of my pain. The good news is that the curvature isn't causing any compression to my spinal cord or other organs- that would be bad and most likely require surgery. I'm supposed to quit smoking and do physical therapy for the rest of my life, lest I end up bent in half. I'm not sure if this is all good news.
I'm leaving NYC today. Best city in the damn world. But at least I'll get to be with llama for awhile. And then, G-town! Last semester! (LORD ALMIGHTY).
