to rib or not to rib....

For years, (since high school) I've had issues with my right ribs. The doctor told me it was my right floating rub.

We have 4 "floating ribs" - A rib is said to be "floating" if it does not attach to the sternum (the breast bone) or to another rib.

Lately its been bugging me more than ever, so I researched.

In some cases, a floating rib can cause problems for its owner. These ribs can slip out of position, putting pressure on internal organs, and they can also be broken as a result of trauma, causing considerable pain and putting the patient at risk for infection.

Turns out... there is a procedure in which you can remove your "floating ribs" to have a smaller waist.

I am not a fan of surgery... specifically "plastic" surgery. Freaks me out... and I find it un-necessary.

But in this situation... it might be beneficial for my body.
I will continue to research the options, but thought it was an extremely interesting topic.

Removing my ribs because they are problematic would lead to a coca cola shape body! haha
