Fix you//Coldplay

meet the cripple stick.

  In the movie Forrest Gump, Tom Hanks states, "Mama always said that life is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you're gonna get." Now, since honesty is my policy, I have never seen Forrest Gump all the way through. However, I find that anyone can take this idea to heart,
  If I got to choose what was in my box of chocolates, I would split it in milk chocolate bordeaux and salted caramel chocolate, but since I can't, we all know that there would always be that unfortunate chocolate that looks like all the other ones but just tastes awful. That one chocolate out of the six total in the box is what I like to believe is the trials in life. It's one out of six that leaves us doubting all the good in life.
  Right now, that one awful chocolate is leaving an awful after-taste in my mouth. Out of, what feels like, nowhere, I have been diagnosed by two doctors and a few physical therapists with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, or PFPS. A friend of mine calls it the Silent Killer. I didn't even know that existed! It means the alignment of my patella and femur is off and it creates obnoxious pain. I'm not suppose to run, but that is all I want to do. Right now, things aren't getting better so I'm taking a break from physical therapy. I find, however, that I am incredibly lucky and blessed.
  I have a cripple stick and cool ice packs. I have amazing people in my life that tell me to slow down and stop walking everywhere. I have a team of physical therapists that keep trying to figure out the best way to fix me.
  Some days are harder than others and really, it isn't because of the pain. I feel like I'm in a dark pit and there's no way out because I am crippled. Completely ridiculous, really. Things really are going to be better. It's one chocolate out of six.
