Xrays and Mutant Powers
Well the good news and to jump straight to the spoiler filled summary - it's nothing that is going to kill me.
I have been having sharp pain right down at the base of my spine for about 6 months or so. Probably more. No idea why and no, I cannot recall what I could have done.
Strange thing is that it only hurts when I go to get up after sitting down for an extended period. Not after sleep, not during or after exercise, not from walking and, strangely, not from driving the MudMobile. Just sitting.
So like anyone with a mild history of hyperchondria in the family (Grandma, pointing the finger at you :P) and access to the internet I have been fearing the worse. So finally, with a 'day off from work' (more of that later.... sigh) I went to my GP and, among other things (other things being that mole thingy on the back of my head that I end up nicking with the razor everytime I shave my head, is the number one reason all of my nice shirts have blood stains on the collar and frankly PISSES ME OFF), I raised the question.
So sent off for xrays and some moments later the nice xray lady comes back with some nice xrays that show the last two segments of my coxic spine tail bone thingy do not remotely align with the bits above them.
Which is a bit weird, esp since I have no idea how I would have done that sort of injury. You would think anything like that would have SODDING HURT and that you may just have noticed it at the time, but no. No idea.
Still, while painful it is not something that is going to kill me and for that I spent most of the rest of the day shamelessly eating junk food.
Burp.
Also getting that mole thingy cut off tomorrow. Ya to that! :)
Oh. Work... yeah... Having a few days off. Annoying as there is actually a MASSIVE amount of work we want to start with a big and massive deadline coming up, but for 'reasons' can't start it just yet. Bothersome. If I don't get The Summons by tomorrow I guess I am off till after Easter. Oh well. Gives me writing/housework time I guess.
