You know how there are people who like to write about themselves and embellish their stories by over dramatizing their testimony therefore making themselves appear as heroes to gullible readers who don’t know any better?
Well, I am not like that.
Hopefully, I don’t become like that.
As an update, I am on my third week of physical therapy, and I am still feeling some pain.
I won’t elaborate on how painfully painful my pain was a couple of painful weeks ago, because–well, different people deal with pain differently.
To other people in pain, what I was feeling could be a “kill me now” moment, or it could have been something more tolerable that they can walk-off. I know I let myself get soft. I admit this, because I also know I’ve gotten lazy.
Lazy people get stupid, and stupid people get themselves hurt.
It was a stupid injury, because I could have avoided it by being a lot more careful and not being too sure of myself.
There is nothing heroic about getting hurt because you got sloppy. And the slow crawl back to fitness isn’t some heroic push to overcome insurmountable odds. I put myself here. I could have avoided this. But I got cocky and am now out of action for the rest of the year.
So there.
PT, some pain, and a generous sprinkling of sincerity and honesty.
Thank you for reading. I am getting better. The Makati Medical Center physical therapists are doing an awesome job of fixing me. Thank you Ms. Marianne, Ms. Kristelle, Ms. MJ, and Ms. Tin. I can walk with a lot less limp and a bit more dignity.
Thanks as well Maxicare. You are well worth this sailor’s investment. Please sponsor me sometime in the future. I promise to make it worth your investment.
