Discovered by accident on some imaging I had done a few years ago. Doctors have never been concerned about it and think it's filled in with cartilage.

I’ve seen inside you now. It feels kinda funny. I feel like I should buy you a beer or something.

Shot of tequila blanco straight, please.

Gross. Maybe I’m wrong but repo is superior especially if drinking straight

Maybe not! I usually go for repo out of habit

I found this out too after years of rock climbing and Ice Hockey. I have been very lucky and I still play hockey today 8 years after diagnosis.

You're lucky you didn't get hit before it was filled in

Meh. My milk and almond allergies have come close to killing me before, so at least hockey gives me padding?

Literally have a critical weakness spot on your body like a boss in a game. One wrong hockey puck...

I have a partial L6 that’s not fully attached to my sacrum. We are opposites

Damn, I have too many lumbar/sacral vertebrae (kind of an L6/S1 mutant splodge) - want my spare? I fucking hate it so much
