Pain is inevitable…

Today, they cut me for the 27th time.  Next month the doc’s will deliver cut number 28.  AND, in April they’ll scan me for more of the “C” word.  They just will.

Today, I went to visit my good friend Markelville.  I watched him walk around his coffee table with his walker.  I watched the strongest man I’ve ever known, fight for his life.  Actually, I watched him fight to regain what he has lost in his life.  I watched a young man leave his wheelchair and lean hard on his walker.  He inspired me to embrace my pain and keep walking into it.  He inspired me to whine less and work more.  He just did.

Tomorrow, I’ll plank my ASS off with M&Frickin’M.  Tomorrow, I’ll push and pull.  Tonight, however, I’ll just eat and drink and take it easy with my Miss.  It’s not like I’m nuts or something…

Pain is inevitable, remember.  Misery, however, is a choice.

Funny, huh.
