I was waiting in the drive-thru of Chico's Taco's a few days ago with my sister, Jennifer. As we sat there I glanced down at my credit card (which is personalized with a family picture taken at Niagara Falls. )
Immediately I noticed my back and said to Jennifer,
"Look at my back in this picture. Look at that lovely curve. That's the way a back's supposed to be. Now my spine is all convex."
"Actually," Jennifer said, "the shape of the spine is supposed to go concave - convex - concave - convex. But yours just go's concave - convex - vex - vex."
And then we started laughing uncontrollably. I really do look pretty pathetic these days; more like 101 than 31. And when that's the case, all you really can do is laugh.
11 days till surgery. I can't wait to be upright again!
