I've actually shrunk almost 2" as I've gotten older. I noticed that my mother shrunk in height as she got older too. I've had bone density testing done and my bones are fine, but I just keep shrinking. My doctor isn't concerned about it. I know I'm shorter later in the day because I've been to the doctor early in the morning and I've been there later in the afternoon, and my height is shorter in the late afternoon. Oh, well, it hasn't killed me yet!!!

$85,000.00
If I were taller I would make more money and, thus, be able to afford this surgery! Sign me up (not).
