Pain is the vagary

Pain is not a set in stone written from the hand of god to you notification of how you will feel. Pain is the emotion you may feel this way at some point in the near future.

As I am decreasing the amount of pain medication I take, I am learning pain is pain. And what I feel today, may put me in bed tomorrow.

I have a physical therapist who works on the pain. He tries to understand, but without living in the moment of insanity he cannot. He makes the days easier to live with sometimes, he works around the area where I hurt. He listens to my rants, my struggles, and he comisserates. He cannot fix it, but he can help, somedays.

Pain is a moment in time which like a time machine takes you back and forth, rolling like the waves of the ocean. Sometimes pounding into the shore with the force of a hurricane, and then turning and gently licking the edges of the sand


Noone promised me paradise while I was living this life, but no one said I would live through Dante's versions of Hell either. How do I just get back to today
