The King died on the throne because he couldn't pinch a loaf.

My body is pretty much building a second skeleton on top of existing one. Any trauma or injury can cause a flareup to occur and a bone to form. It is a genetic disorder that can be passed on but in my case it was just a weird combination of circumstances because no one in our family has had it so it came from a gene mutation caused during gestation. There are only 700 cases or so diagnosed worldwide and only 4 in Texas and 280 in US. The disease causes me to be permanently bent at about 45 degree angle so I am perfectly BOOB high ;) I get tons of people staring at me and trying to figure out what is wrong with me, we had a guy almost walk off the second story at a mall because he had turned around to look at me. Because of this disease I stand about 12-16 hours a day working on the computer and it can get very painful so I constantly shift weight and most times I am more comfortable standing than sitting since I can change positions.

Sorry to thread jack from OP If anyone is interested I'll start a new thread for it.
