Not being completely healthy sucks. For example, today I had a rather painful procedure done. The pain was so bad that afterwards my body went into shock. I fainted and floated around not full consciousness for almost an hour. That's scary stuff.
However, falling down while you faint is kind of neat because it doesn't hurt at all. It's like your body turns into jelly and so hitting the floor is kind of gentle, smooth process. I think people get hurt when they fall down because they are tense and trying not to hurt themselves. Of course, I'm only talking about falling from heights like five and a half feet.
Another amazing thing is how quickly your body (and brain) forgets about such incredible pain. I mean this is probably why some women sign up for more childbirths after having one. That's one signup list you won't see me on.
The other thing that sucks is my foot. My foot pain is either a stress fracture or a neuroma (some sort of nerve damage/inflamation). Either way it's not looking so good for the 1/2 marathon I've been training for which is in 10 days.
