The Body Keeps the Score

Whenever I talk about my body I hate it because I notice everything

Head, fine

Eyes, tired

Mouth, dry

Throat, scratchy

Nose, stuffy

Ears, tinnitus

Chest, fine –work out more

Arms –more tattoos

Fingers –good—marriage not in my future

Waist, needs to get smaller

Thighs –good

Butt –itchy

Knees –hurt—thanks Uncle Sam

Calf—good—left one itchy

Feet—good

Right ankle hurts thought

Left ankle good

Ingrown toenail a gift from Uncle Sam too

Full body check complete
