Yesterday I Felt Like I Was on Fire
On Friday morning, when I woke up. I was met by the usual Charlie Horses in my calves and feet. I waited in bed for about 10 minutes for the spasms to let go so I could get out of bed.

What doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger
The infinite wisdom that my mom used to tell me growing up on a daily basis is starting to punch me in the face every day, and starting to bring light of my ongoing health problems.
