In Portland oregon in the early 70's there was a young sister in our hall, she was in her 20's, married, with one or two small children.
She had dark hair and full lips, she was pretty and very friendly.
She also had a very pronounced hump in her back, her spine was a twisted mess.
I remember her saying that her doctor had told her that therapy and wearing a brace would help strainten out her back and help relieve her of her chronic pain, but the process would take 2-3 years and the new system would be here way before then so she was not going to waste her time and money.
