the amazing human body!

I screwed up my back horribly what, five years ago now? It’d been slightly wrong before, but I fell off a sidewalk and buggered my knee and hobbled around for six weeks and at the end of it my back was a disaster (between the 5th lumbar and the tailbone my spine curved 3/4ths of an inch to the right. As I said then, and continue to say now because I like to, three quarters of an inch is not a lot, unless you are talking about the placement of…
