It is a sad sad day!!! I have always thought, at least since I had my last growth spurt a million years ago, that I was just under 5'6" about 5'5" and 3/4", or at the least 1/2". But, not just one, but two independent measurements from different measuring "sticks" at the Huntsman Cancer Institute confirmed that I am in actuality only 5'5". I find it hard to believe that all my previous measurements were wrong, although they were performed with a yard stick in the middle of my parent's kitchen, so the only conclusion is that I am shrinking. This would only be bearable if the rate were slow and the shrinking were equal between height and width, or perhaps a little more on the width side. But before I start putting a phone book in the driver's seat of my car, or call Russ to break and elongate my bones, I better give it a year or two to see if I am really shrinking or just a terrible yard stick reader.
