Photo's Day Today.

So today I went and saw the chiropractor to see the results of my back x-rays. While I guessed that the curve in my spine was and, there were two things that popped up. Firstly, that I have a lumbar scoliosis. I didn't realize that, which explains why turning over in bed is the equivalent of feeling like a child's doll that has the torso and legs move to the point where they can walk forwards and look backwards. So I am going to share them here with you.


Kyphosis

Yes, this is the curvature in my thoracic spine. Up until seeing how bad the spine looks, because, you can't see it clearly through muscle or skin, in the x-ray, I used to get mad when people thought I was an inspiration to them. Now, that I see it, I have to admit that even I am impressed with myself. Nothing like a good old bit of hard facts to make your day.


Neck

Well, this is what my neck looks like. Again, this is why I have a hard time swallowing. It also makes sense as to why I get muscle based headaches.


Lower Back

So, this one was quite interesting. Firstly, I didn't know I had a bit of scoliosis in the lower back. But thankfully, that explains a lot. Also, you can see my right hip which has been replaced. I am facing front on to the x-ray machine in this picture. Also, I think the right side of my pelvis looks a little bit deformed in comparison to the left side.

The most amazing thing out of all this though, hardly any sign of degradation at the moment. Though there is a bit near where the fusion was done that looks a little bit out of order. But that part where there seems to be no fins on the vertebrae, that is where part of my gangrene infection got into the bone and they had to take the rods out.

Well, enjoy!
