Pain Only!!

At physiotherapy, I saw another patient and was absolutely baffled. Despite her injured knee, she wore makeup and her legs were shaved. I on the other hand, totally overwhelmed by pain look like the bear from the movie ‘The Revenant’.   I have gained weight, can’t sit still for a haircut and wear loose cloths in which I can sneak into without my right shoulder finding out.

My friends talk about my future as casually. new gym routine, travel and changes. I fail to comprehend all of their plans at this point. Its crazy i know, its a small non-life threatening injury, a injury which is only known to cause pain and temporary impact to the range of motion. My condition is debilitating to normal thinking as much as its to the routine of normal life.

Now I understand pain better. I am no longer surprised that people confess to the crimes they have not committed after ‘persuasive interrogating’ from cops.

My mom says health is the biggest wealth and she also says we don’t enjoy any of the luxuries in life while sick or in pain. Except for Netflix, she is right. 

I am not the bravest soul in the world. So there is no longer a quest to find balance in my life, with this pain. The plan is to accept my challenges/grumpiness/handicap with left open arm , till the pain starts to be my busy friend again visiting me only once in a blue moon.
