This is awesome! For some reason I got really nervous reading about your accident. I was sure they opened you up and did some damage! I hope you keep going strong with the condition. I wonder how many people have lived full lives and never had it be detected.



Yes there is something very disturbing about the thought of doctors potentially opening up your body and shuffling your perfectly functional organs around because they think they’re supposed to be somewhere else.


Classic refactoring story.


Maybe a tattoo of the organ locations would be helpful?


Unlike most, mine is an exact mirror. I missed it earlier but this is what the Totalis refers to in Dextro Cardia, w/ Situs Inversus Totalis.

Adding a tattoo of my organ placement would be comical. I'd be a human Operations Boardgame by the end of it.


I’ve just been playing that game - the version on ship shelves now is a shadow of its former self. The version I played in the 80’s was excellent.


They'd be dozens of us! Dozens! Haha.

Ah, I was very lucky in the accident. The driver was on his phone and distracted and hit me at 60 kmh. I was very, very lucky.


> hit me at 60 kmh

I was rear ended by a guy going 100kmh while strapped into my seat. I can't imagine.


Wouldn't lucky be not having the accident?
