Ever since Weeds I pretend I'm you and hold my iced coffee like that. Walking down a street/hallway looking like i have a ton on my mind, swirling the straw with my teeth and a grin.

Hey I also had surgery when I was 14 (I'm 27 now) because it was pushing down on my lungs. Couldn't run 1/4 a mile without wanting to die. I went to UCLA and had the ravich procedure done (I have a big upside-down Y-shaped scare on my chest). The cartilage never healed right, my chest still looks like crap, I get weird phantom pains/sounds/cracks from my sternum area every day and I feel like I forgot how to breathe correctly. Something in there just doesn't feel right and it feels like a matter of days before I twist my body in a weird way and it all collapses in on itself.

Trying to explain this to anyone goes nowhere and I'm not sure what to do. I've seen advancements in 3D printing take off and someone in China now has a 3D printed titanium chest/sternum so I'm kinda just waiting until I can walk into the hospital and get a brand new 3D printed rib cage. Just swap the whole thing out yall! Lol

Have you looked into following up and doing another reparative surgery and what that wouldn't entail?
