07.28.13.

Technically it's the 29th because it's past midnight, but oh well.

Tomorrow I have a doctor's appointment to check out my spine. I'm a little scared and nervous, because I don't know what to expect, but at the same time, I really want to go and get it checked out because the pain has been bugging me for a while now. I'm pretty sure I have kyphosis or lordosis. Kyphosis is this condition where the top of your spine is curved forward (so like hunchback shoulders), and then your lower back has an extremely arched curvy S shape, causing a lot of lower back pain. The pain's been driving me crazy lately, despite me dancing less this summer, so that's a bit of a problem. I'm just hoping the doctor will take it as seriously as I am. I'm hoping she'll order x-rays for me too...because those will be crucial in determining the angle degree of my curvature and what to do next. Also hoping for a back brace and not a surgery, because hospitals are really scary. I don't know...I guess just that everything will work out fine, and then we'll get this all sorted out before university?

That's my post for tonight, thank you for reading!
