But I can't, because on occasion I need to think and shit like that... For those of you into the mechanics of the back, the red arrow shows the lack of a disk between L4-L5, and the two blue arrows show the disks that are bulg

ReplyDeleteI suggest a colour change, tho-- something more pinkish is what I'm a-thunkin'...
Wow Teri, that's a first. I mean, I should be so lucky....
ReplyDeleteDick - I know, it doesn't happen often.
ReplyDeleteWhat, no joke about buying the extra large version? That hospital stay must have took your typical male humor chromosone for a joy ride.
ReplyDeleteTeri and Dick: back to your neutral corners now kids!
