Scoliotic.

Tweet

I went to the city proper this morning for some errands. As usual, I walked again with my violet umbrella shading me from the sun. I think I “strolled” 2 kilometers with the turns I went through in the city. I enjoyed “my time” but when I came home, I felt pain on my lower back because of non-stop ambulation. My sister and her daughters have the lateral curvature of the spine. There are some Filipino actresses who have this musculoskeletal deformity, and they look like models because their hips sway when they walk. I have a poor posture; it is as if I am bent forward. Although my mother (+) taught me to stand straight, I think I developed that posture because I was always hurrying in doing my work when I was still in school. I carried over that posture, and now… I feel I have scoliosis. My lower back, specifically my right lumbo-sacral bone is aching and I have to move slowly. I guess I have to visit an old woman who massages her customers with the Holy Oil of our Blessed Virgin. I have to sleep on the bed with semi-hard mattress; pillows on each side when I face sideways; head should be elevated with 2 pillows high. I took an analgesic but the pain still persists. I hope by tomorrow, I will not longer be… scoliotic!
