I'm only going to get about 3 hours of sleep tonight, because every time I try to lay down, I wind up in screaming pain, because of my back. There's a knot in the lowest part of my back where the vertebrae is cracked and I guess it is twisting against the muscle, and let's just say it isn't the best feeling in the world. You could easily say it is more likely the worst feeling ever. Especially when it starts cutting off feeling to my legs. That's never fun. The sad thing about it is that I didn't develop this from anything horribly exciting. I think I could deal with it if it was the result of a life of wacky misadventures (beyond those that I've had), but none of those mishaps or accidents led to this. This is the direct result of shoddy genetics. My grandmother had the same thing, and I watched her degrade over the years to where she was barely mobile. I don't want that for myself, and I know how much pain she was in, and I certainly don't want that for myself, but it seems like it's just something I've got to look forward to. Here's to the future.
