Health Scare

     Last Friday, from today, my doctor was talking to me about my spine. One the problems was the disc displacement of part of my spine. He essentially said that my wieght had put enough pressure to damage my spine permenantly. He also said that because of this pressure I have arthritis. Years of fluctuating wieght and bad diet decisions have put me in a situation that is i changeable. My doctor informed me that the pain I have will not fade. It can only be maintained.
     It is a little disheartening to realize that at barely 18 I had managed to wiegh more than the average 30 year old man and have already permenantly hurt my spine. But, this serves as a reality check. Being young you think that you are pretty much invincible. This is not true.
    The good we eat now is crucial to our health years from now. The habits we make in our late teens are habits that follow us into adulthood, unless we break them. I want to start now. My diet needs to be more balanced and I need to worry about how my food is made. This is the funny part, food is the reason for my chronic back pain and food is the answer to conserving the rest of my life.

    Wow Kevin. I'm sorry who had to hear that from your doctor. I really am hoping you get well. I never thought eating a certain amount of food could do that to a person. You were absolutely right, reality check for many of us. The food we eat can have a major impact on our lives be it younger or older, age doesn't matter. But don't loose all hope. There is still a chance you could get better soon. :)
