No Pain No Gain!!!

I wake up this morning happy as can be!
(Not really sure how that differs from any other day, maybe I'm usually a little more hungry heh)

I feel like I took a bad spill snowboarding. My lower back is aching.
Now you ask, why should what feels like a bruised tail bone be reason for celebrating?

I'm on a medicine to promote white cell growth. A higher white cell count protects me from infection and once it gets to a certain level, I will not have to worry about catching a bug from those around me and especially the foods I eat. (Chinese and Pizza, here I come!!!)

The main side effect from this drug is bone pain, specifically in the lower back.
So all is right in the world!

2 Tylenol and I'm good to go!!
Now the real question is when is opening day on the mountain? The Doc says I need exercise!

Hey Nick,
Just letting you know that of course you're in my thoughts and in my prayers. I think I could use some lessons from you though. I gotta learn how to look at life like you.
