Ah yes, those short arms probably thwarted many a T-Rex during their times! Very clever use of the word and the picture!

It appears that short arms are a dino's Achilles heel. Loved it.

I'm sorry about what I wrote yesterday. I know it must have been infuriating. Really I don't know what the hell I want but having spent years wishing for death it feels hypocritical even to entertain the idea of getting treatment. I know it's probably nothing anyway. Everyone tells me if it hurts it's probably a cyst.

PS you asked why I'd even go to a specialist ~ just because I want to know one way or the other

Akelamalu said...

Thanks CJ

I think you want to get well Gleds x
