Compression fracture

My back condition seems to be becoming worse every time I see my specialist.

I started off with a disorder which caused my leg to stop growing for a few years, hence the 2 cm difference and a crooked spine as a result of that.

Latest update!

I have a compression fracture in one of my vertebrae. Great. Read more about it here.

It seems quite bad, but it probably explains my back aches. Well, at least I know the exact cause now. It seems bad enough that the Medical Officer said that he has to downgrade my PES without me saying anything (FYI, a MO is a military doctor). I think I should be downgraded to something like PES C9 L3, which is like the lowest level of PES eligible to stay in regular service.

On the bright side, I will never have to go chiong swa again in my life. I'll be one of the few male Singaporeans who have never gone through "live" firing and "live" grenades throwing and so on. I'll be promoted soon! If nothing goes wrong, I should be promoted when the next financial year starts in April next year.

Back to my specialist. I'll have to go through this $400++ MRI scan, whatever it is, next year to evaluate the extents of injury of the adjacent discs (the tissue, not the music disc). Argh, money not enough.

When's my $10000000000000000 gonna drop from the sky? (Refer to wishlist on right) I'd prefer it to be a crossed cheque addressed to me; one big sack of money dropping from the sky is potentially killer-litter material.

Oh, here's one mistake the smart Xiaxue made!
