I know that all of you know what it is like to be sick. It is just part of the deal, and some do have it better and some have it worse. I've been sick so many times that I don't give it much thought until it happens. Then I complain to myself and hope that it will be over quickly. I have had lots of colds and the flu and bursitis and sprains and bruises and infections and, of course, my stoke and the diabetes thing. But I have never broken a bone or suffered what I would call a serious injury. Even when I had that auto accident in 1968 when I drove my car off the freeway near American Fork after a double date with my brother Doug I was spared anything real bad. But I don't handle being sick as well as I used to. Being older does have its advantages, but it does have a down side as well, and dealing with sickness is one of those. But the cliche "that which doesn't kill me only makes me stronger" has some meaning for me. If it doesn't completely incapacitate me like a back back or and inflamed shoulder or a badly pulled muscle I just try to keep on working my way through it knowing that it will be over with sooner or later. Right now I just have a cold. It is persistent and makes me feel miserable, but so what. You've all had worse and its nothing like giving birth, so just deal with it. I wish the best of health for each of you. And I hope that if you have to suffer that it is nothing serious. But bad things happen to good people and we will all just keep on keeping on and deal with whatever our life brings us.
