Last month I got a scoliosis diagnosis after having months of back pain so intense I couldn’t sit without being in 8 out of 10 pain. A major reason why I shared “ASMR” style videos with minimal editing and zero narration.
MRI came back and I have moderate to severe compression in my L5 which was causing the intense Sciatica since November. Believe it or not though, it was great news. The best treatment option currently is physical therapy, lifestyle/diet changes and strengthening my core. No need for surgery or anything big.
That said, I got to workout for the first time in months this morning and I am completely gassed, starting PT next week. Hopeful that this is reversible.
If you’re in your 20s and work sitting down at a desk, please heed my words, fight for a standing desk or take a break every 60-90 minutes to walk for 10-15 minutes. My spine specialist always says “sitting is as bad as smoking.” That’s not hyperbole, I’m experiencing what two decades of bad posture can do and holy smokes it’s not fun.
The only thing I love more than shiny cardboard is Litten coins, so I was very honored by the kind folks at ND Custom Rugs in the UK who surprised me with this. This is not a sponsored post, they were just super cool and gifted it to me. 🤝
When I started chasing the birds I never could have imagined one day I’d be in another country, working with a children’s foundation, continuing that chase and using the series for something bigger than my collection.
Major shoutout to Misa, Eric and Xavier. Three amazing kids we were supporting through Starlight Canada.
Thank you to everyone that joined our live pack battle on Sunday. It was a major highlight of my first trip to Canada.
