Wonky

So, do you remember when i fell off a climbing wall a few months ago? Well, i finally got around to seeing a physical therapist, because my back still hurts (it's a lot better, though, especially since i started working out).

The therapist, Sarah, told me a couple of interesting things. First of all, the injury isn't as low down as i thought; it's located at the joints of my T-12 and L-1 vertebrae, sort of in the middle of my back. Secondly, and more curious, my pelvis is misaligned, making my left leg appear slightly longer than the right. I asked if this was likely a result of the injury, and Sarah replied that i was probably just made that way. She mentioned that it's probably hindering the healing of my back.

So, thanks, Mum & Dad, for the wonky pelvis.

You have always leaned to the Left a bit...

ba-dum bum!

Don't blame us!! You say "making my left leg appear slightly longer than the right". Does it only look longer or is it actually the same size? My Mum always lent to the left so it must run in the family. I should have nagged you to stand up straight. :-)

My legs are in fact the same length, but my pelvis makes my left leg act like it's longer. And just so you funny clever clogs know, if my left leg is longer, i will lean to the RIGHT. Geez. ;)

Not when we're looking at you.
In your view you may lean to the right, but you really look lefty to me.

If you sleep on your side maybe you should try sleeping on the other side for a few decades to even it out.

Hmmm, i'm not so sure that will work. I think i'll just stick with suffering and blaming Mum & Dad
