Something I Love...

It's to scrutinize my own x-ray films

Isn't it amazing? To find out what's going on Inside you. Not figuratively speaking but literally. Your bones, your guts, your bodily functions... all these physical things that make up who you are as a living thing.

Absolutely fascinating.

Well, right to the point when you're told how fucked up things are going on inside you. Cue the thunder.

tsssk tsssk.

I went to see a Chiro in my hometown today because I've always known that my posture is really bad, even at such tender age of 23. pffft. Neck and head salah, knees salah, ankles salah, too flat footed yada yada...

But one of the biggest issues that have been bothering me is the discomfort I have been experiencing around my head, neck and shoulders. Apparently, I was told that the muscle around my neck is too weak, while the muscle around my shoulders are too stiff so there's restricted movements in those areas and I would suffer the consequences much worse as I age, not so gracefully.

Sigh.

Check out the two grey lines drawn of the side profile of my x-ray, the straighter line is the current shape of my neck while it's supposed to have that natural curve like the line drawn next to it. As a result, I'm prescribed to commit to 4 sets of rehab exercises, three times a day, 10 repetitions of each set.

Don't judge me if I have to excuse myself after every meal to do my exercises.

Yes people, really gotta take good care of your bone structures as they are crucial in holding everything together and to keep them in place. Also, it's important to keep an active lifestyle. Because I was nagged by my Chiropractor today that, all these problems that I'm suffering now is mainly because I was a couch potato for more than 18 years of my life. All due to the fact that, I was overweight, overly pampered as on only kid and last but not least, incredibly lazy beyond all reasons. I didn't have to lift a finger around the house and I could get away with it.

I thought I was SO SMART and SO LUCKY but not so much anymore huh.

My chiro gave an inspirational speech about how recovery is not gonna be easy, while pressing hard into my sore shoulders making me screamed mutely to myself. And that I have to endure the pain in order to make up for the wrongs I had done to my body when everything was still right.

Ouch.

Good news is, it's never too late to make changes.

PS:

You know times have shifted when you are more excited about spending RM600 on a pillow than on a pair of shoes from Bimba & Lola.

Not just any pillow, but The Millennium pillow.

That's its real name. No kidding.

PPS:

Off to Penang for the weekend!

To get fed and to see my favourite girls.
