This body of mine

Well what do you know? Instead of offering or, to use their exact word, proposing return to work- modified duties, the offer is three weeks modified hours. Who are they kidding?

My physique has lovingly taught me a lesson I shall not soon forget- even though it may be wasting away, it must until its journey on earth is completed, be treated with dignity and respect and on these grounds I have chosen to listen to my body and not discount it for some humanly designed plan.

Broken as it may be, it is still worthy of being the temple of that houses my soul. This is more than enough reason to honour, cherish and treat it kindly.

It does not take lightly the abusive disregard for its ultimate/optimal wellness and function. It is mechanical but above all it is spiritual and just like a broken down equipment/machinery will conk out so too will the body's signal become dysfunction with improper care or maintenance.

Each body is unique, each course of treatment is designed by Doctor Me, and it will have no part of the 'hurry up and get fixed so I can go on with life' syndrome. In order to fully function as designed is must be treated in such a fashion that it can fulfill its purpose.

This is a lesson that I do not intend to ignore as long as I continue to journey on this side of heaven.

And so it is!
