From age 12, I was 5'8". Now, with degenerative disc disorder, and my right side degenerating faster than the left, if I stand on my left foot, I am still 5'8"..if I stand on my right foot, I am only 5'7".
I'm with brushandthimble...until my 3 sons passed me, I never felt short. At 6', 6'5", and 6'6, I feel like a shrimp walking beside them!!
