Hand-Me-Ups
I think this is pretty amusing: Last night I received a hand-me-down jacket from Kiote!!! Guess that means it's really a hand-me-up. :-)

Dear Everyone,
I just wanted to give people an update about me. I just found out that i have major spinal issues that if not treated now - I could be crippled later on in life. It was a bit scary for me to hear that. I have had a lot of back pain through out the last years and I finally have been in so much pain that i had to get an x-ray. For those who know the spines I have problems with 1C (cervical - in the neck), 2 C, 6C, 7C, Then down in the lower back region there is some problems with 12T, 1L, 2L. 3L. 4L, 5L and the sacrum. The worst is at the sacrum and 5L. For those that don't know the spine, you can google it. Anyway, the doctor found arthritis on that part of my spinal cord and the 5L and sacrum are almost fused together, and at 4L it was twisted. It was interesting though, because he said because of this fusion my nerves are compressed and that is why I have such bad digestive problems.
So to fix it I am supposed to do some aggressive treatment, chiropractictly, in the next year. He said he could probably fix my spine hopefully up to 90%. However, it is very expensive. Well, he is giving me a discount for 90 times it would be $39 at time which equal out to @ $3560, compared to what they usually charge which is $9500. So if anyone wants to contribute to this, it would be appreciated. I was told i could not fix it and it will get worse and worse to where I could be crippled, or I would need surgery. Anyway, that's it for now.
Today is Becca's b'day and the poor girl is so sick. Fortunately, she won't remember too much of it.
