Can You Really Shrink?
Tuesday, November 24, 2009
Have you ever heard someone say that they have shrunk over the years? When I'd heard that in the past I didn't believe it to be possible at all but it happened to my husband.
AND he regained his lost 3.5".
He lost 3.5" of height to put him back at an even 6'0" because of spinal problems. After surgery to rebuild the discs in his spine he's back to his full 6'3.5". So there is merit in the saying about people shrinking.
I still have to stand on my tiptoes to kiss him. :)
By the way, he continues to heal and is getting pretty good at using the walker around the house but it's hard on a man to be seen as needing aid or help so it's an emotional journey as well.

I understand the emotional journey part. My Dad shattered his leg 3 weeks ago. Now he is filled with hardware and working on rehab. I visited this Thanksgiving...saw him and burst into tears.
I'm very happy to hear your man is healing well. The added inches must be well received. My husband is 6'3" as well. He would be pissed off if he lost 3 inches...no matter where they might be!
Tell him I can relate. I am really really sick of my walker. It's been two months. xoxo
