Another day, another week

Ok, I just have to vent about this somewhere.

When I went to my doctor yesterday (whom I normally love to bits), she ran her hand down my back and said "You don't want to be one of those hunched over old ladies do you?" in relation to the kyphosis I'm developing on my upper back.

.....

FUCK YOU

I HATE that phrase. Do not use it around me. I know PERFECTLY well what I look like. I know my scoliosis is getting worse, the constant low-level pain I live in is proof enough of that. I can no longer touch my shoulders to the wall, I haven't been able to in years. Calling me a potential "hunched over old lady" is not constructive, and implies that the ONLY reason to worry about my curved back is because it's unattractive. Screw all the possible breathing and heart issues, it's because I won't look good in a backless dress anymore (not that I ever wear them anyway, but that's not the point).

RAEG

At least she wrote me a script for PT, I'll have to give the place a call when I get back from the guild camping trip. The best I'm hoping for is it doesn't get worse. I don't expect it to reverse what's fucked up already.

I really wish the camping trip was right now, I could use it. Misha here on Sunday!
