Click clack click clack. It is the hunchback, lurking.

You only appreciate things you had once you truly lost them. For me, it is the ability to bend over. Not to bow, to be submissive but just to pick up that six pack of beer. Oh how I miss the days when I wasn’t aching. How good it felt to not worry.

I know pain is coming. I know it. When that movement comes, my body will tell me how badly I tested it. Even papa is fragile, so I am bowing down here now. Metaphorically, in this text. By not capitalising the word “papa”. The mystical entity forced into submission by worldly powers. I could have never imagined this day would come.

But I will be back, with a healed scar. We will form a body even stronger than ever before. Until then, assist me! Let me know how you are, how your body and mind is keeping in equilibrium. Don’t let the two be separate. Be wiser than papa, be thoughtful. And most importantly, be helping.
