The reality of living with scoliosis.

DISCLAIMER: Everything I talk about here is my experience. It may not apply to everyone who suffers from scoliosis. I am only describing my own experience. In the past I've talked about my scoliosis. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, here's a picture of my x-rays. Yes, that is my spine. That is what it looks like when I'm standing perfectly straight. If this picture makes you feel uncomfortable, imagine having to live with it. It was discovered late in my life, at 25. At that age, it is too late for correction. If discovered during childhood, it can be corrected via bracing. At my age, nothing other than surgery can fix it. The surgery is called spinal fusion . Here's a brief description: "Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure used to correct problems with the small bones of the spine (vertebrae). It is essentially a "welding" process. The basic idea is to fuse together the painful vertebrae so that they heal into a sing

The LASIK experience

Warning: This post has virtually nothing to do with video games. Some time around the age of 10, it was decided for me that I had to wear glasses. Between that time and today, I decided getting my eyes fixed via laser was a good idea. I finally went through with it and I figured it would make an interesting blog post. Glasses are a mild annoyance; they're fairly un-invasive, but they start getting in the way as soon as you start doing anything physical, anything involving water or anything that can end with you getting punched in the face. The idea of contacts never appealed to me; something about sticking a piece of plastic onto  your eyeball freaked me out. Getting bits of your eye burned off by a laser seemed like a much more palatable solution. I liked that it was a permanent solution; glasses break, contacts get lost, but it's very hard to undo laser surgery. I also liked that it removed a material dependancy; suddenly I didn't rely on a tiny piece of plastic t
