X-Ray Results

My X-rays from my spine showed that my bone structure was completely normal! Hooray!

I was so relieved to hear the news. But naturally, I still wanted to have the physical X-rays, so my lovely doctor arranged for them to be put on a disc for me.
Here is one of the images!

Pretty cool, huh?

MRI Results

A little while after I got my X-Rays, I got my two MRIs done.  One for my Lumbar, and one for my Thoracic spine.
An MRI has the be one of the weirdest body scans out there.  I now totally understand why some people get put to sleep for it.
I am getting the images tomorrow, and I will post them then.
But my results showed that I have osteo-arthritis in my spine.  Which basically means the cartilage is slowly wearing away.
Sounds scary, but it is completely reversible! Woohoo!
I just can't take any pain killers.

Because they fix the pain, but accelerate cartilage deterioration.

All in all, I am one happy camper right now. I have barely any free time, but I'm completely used to that.
I need to take a photo of my Saturday mornings (I wake up at 4:45am!). It is just beautiful in the city when everyone is asleep.

Tell me about your favourite story.
Whether it be an epic, or a few sentences long.
