Yesterday was a day unyielding pain, very hard to ignore. I thank those who had conversation with me as typing often helps me to concentrate on something other than how I feel. Good news? It is quarter to five and I was finally able to get out of bed. Meds actually did the trick. Its not the best way to live; finding ways not to deal with pain, but sleep (which comes to me so rarely) is something I look forward to for escape. Heres the key, it would be far too easy for me to desire to be unconscious or medicated every day, but then look at all I would miss? I think about that even today. As joyous as I am that I finally got some good sleep and relief from most of my pain, I am not as happy to miss out on time with my wife and kids. That is my dynamic. It is far too easy to escape ones pain, trials, and basically life itself. I have been asked why I do not use pain meds on a daily basis? I used to do that very thing, however I ended up being a zombie, useless to this family and oblivious to its needs. I decided it would be better for me to live in pain in order to be with my family, than to live without pain and not live. Does that make sense? I therefore encourage anyone out there who has similar trials to think about what I am saying. Do you want to take the easy road or the most difficult? What are the blessings of each path? What are the negatives? Even the Lord tells us that the path to heaven is narrow, but wide is the road that leads to destruction. We are therefore informed that we always have at least two paths to take, but only one is the right road. Are you on the right path? Do others benefit from the path you are on? Does your path focus on the needs of others or only on yourself? Answer these questions honestly and you will come to see which path is best. Blessings Doug.
