Growing(?!)

Remember when you were a very young child and every so often, occasionally, out of nowhere, it felt like someone was taking an axe to your chest? Or your finger would cause a wracking pain, for no reason? A lot of people don't seem to remember these things. I remember them because they were so acute and inexplicable. I remember them particularly well now that I'm experiencing them again. I don't remember when they gave me the bad news that I wasn't going to get much bigger (it was bad news at the time because it came on the heels of something like "So how much more am I going to grow?") but I know it seemed pretty final at the time. I like 5'2"/62" and there's nothing in the contract about finally fusing my bones and returning to my growth cycle. But damn. This might be interesting.
