Apr. 20th, 2010 03:39 pmMan, i have been having some weird dreams lately. The creepy, sort of uncanny-valley kind where if just this one thing was different, this craziness could ensue. Or, you know. Sometimes crazy-ass pseudo-possible surgery.
So i had this dream wherein i went to the doctor because i'd been suffering back pain (true enough) and after taking x-rays, they determined that the base of my spine was entirely misaligned so that my tailbone laid horizontally instead of vaguely vertical as it should be. This is also true, the bottom of my spine looks like an L. Where it all got weird was when the doctor told me that i needed to have surgery wherein they opened up my entire body and repositioned my spine to correct the issue. After a very docudrama style surgery there was a waking-up scene in which a doctor informed me heartily that it was lucky i was so overweight, because there was plenty of skin to stretch in my abdomen to compensate for the additional height gained by straightening my spine. Constrictive devices were necessary to keep the spine properly extended while the initial surgical damage started to heal. And then there was some very realistic and seemingly logical physical therapy that involved relearning my center of balance and having to stretch and restrengthen abdominal muscles that were used to me being inches shorter. It was all very logical and seemingly realistic, especially for a dream.
And since i woke up, my tailbone has hurt. What the fuck are you trying to tell me, body?
