    When I was 17 I had a rare bone tumor on my spine which require surgery to remove. During the surgery they had to essentially reconstruct part of my spine and equip me with hardware, two rods and twelve screws. It has been nearly 6 years since but I still feel discomfort in most chairs. I enjoy sitting outside enjoying the fresh air and playing with my new puppy Jasper, however all we just got our own house not to long ago and all we have are some pretty uncomfortable plastic lawn chairs. (Which we also have to use inside if we sit anywhere other than the living room.) I would love to win this chair so I could sit comfortably while playing with my dog Jasper and even replace one of the plastic chairs inside to comfortably play video games with my girlfriend and roommates.
