Re: Shorter leg - questions from Shanghai -Hmmmm QUESTION

[Guest guest]

You know it's funny, I never thought of this until this post but my

mom's one leg is 1.5 inches shorter than her other. She mention's

this at any given opportunity LOL, says it gives her " the wiggle "

that has helped her attract " many a man " , hehehe sometimes I wonder

if we are living in the same century, oh, that's right, we are not

hehe. But her first baby (right before me) was born with spinal

bifita as well (passed at 13 days)...Definately makes me wonder...no

family history of CF but other issues mentioned above.
