In sum, the Counselor 100 % got counseled yesterday.

Not only by the Dr., but through my friends and family telling me I need to take better care of myself, and through this malady kicking my ass.

This is one of the biggest learning lessons I've had to date.

I plan for the worst in cases, and am usually right, but I had no idea the real threat would come on the toes of my physical health. Of course I had thought about it but being the "big tough guy" I never acknowledged that my health might actually be in jeopardy. My own body had to tell me.

Well, I listened.
