Bad Genes

I don't mean to offend my parents by the title of this post. Growing up and even now I was never fat, I never had acne, and people didn't ever say I was ugly by any means. But there are other things that aren't so great. Like the fact that when I bend over to pick something up, my lower back pretty much goes out on me.

Then there's my hips. I went to bed perfectly fine last night, and woke up with a terrible pain in my right hip.

I know this can't be good, because my Grandma had a hip replacement at some point in her life, and my other Grandma is pretty much keeled over when she's standing up.

Not that any of this is their fault. But I think "strong back" is definitely going to be on my "must have list" for any guy that may ask me to marry him.

By the way, I expect to look something like this within the next five years.
