My Grandad used to say that a man can move a mountain, but only one shovelful at a time. I wish I had listened. I start my day with about 1200mg of ibuprofen, am awaiting another knee surgery, have had two surgeries on my shoulder, one hernia surgery, and have spent enough time in an MRI that I can't believe ferrous metals don't stick to me.

Patience is a virtue I lacked...now I'm left with little choice but to be patient with myself(physically at least) and try to take care of myself. Keep working at it. Focus on today and maybe tomorrow. Everything further down the road will sort itself out.
