My day as a robot
I stayed at home today, the reason being that over the weekend I transformed into a robot.
What are blogs for if not to share the odd health problem, so mine is, basically, that I am an office-chair slouch. I had constructed this theory that because I have a slight scoliosis, or bend, in my spine (as do about 1 in 10 people, whether they know it or not) what happens is that over time my rib cage, it being attached to this slightly out-of-whack spine, gets itself slightly out-of-whack, until it reaches a point where I sleep funny or do something and then end up with something like a crick in my neck, only it’s not in my neck, and that occasionally I get costalchondritis, or inflammation around the ribs, from the rubbing ... and so I had reached the point of some kind of burning seize-up, and needed to take myself off to the physiotherapist.
Turns out that while all of that is true, basically I have also just been lazy in sitting on my chair. The physio said the usual thing about the human body not being designed to sit at a desk all day. I have known for some time that I, personally, am designed for sitting at a desk all day, so I am glad to know the rest of you are there with me.
I am now back to being a freely-moving human being, and not said robot, only that now my back is taped up, so that if I start that wretched slouch, or sitting back on some bone, the name of which I can’t remember how to spell, it "reminds" me (and is supposed to give some poor muscle, which never before got to switch "off", a break).
