I'm like Wolverine... right?


At least, that's what I like to think. I like to believe I have these super healing powers, that whenever I get injured I'll be good to go in a couple of days. Believe it or not, there is something to be said for having those kinds of positive thoughts. Certain past injuries did heal a lot quicker because I convinced myself they would.

Maybe these injuries are even healing quicker than normal, but for me, it's just not quick enough. I feel like I should be functionning normally again now.

I even had myself convinced that the first day back at work would be easy. It's proving, however, to be quite the opposite.

Between driving, and having to use my left arm to type on the raised keyboard, my arm is killing me. It's sore enough that I actually want to cry.

I've been dizzy since driving this morning. I was getting dizzy enough in the car that even when I was at a complete stop, the road looked like it was still moving. Now I just feel like I could fall over at any minute. And the exhaustion... oh man. It's not even that I'm tired. It's just that I have no energy. My body feels like a dead-weight.

I suppose the lesson here is that I'm really not Wolverine, and I have to stop expecting that my body will heal quickly just because I want it to.

But man, what I wouldn't give for superhuman healing powers right now. And maybe some adamanteum claws... just for the fun of it.

  1. Sorry for your injuries, however driving before you are ready could result in additional injury. That being said it is difficult more most to sit around when they are used to being active. But sometimes we need to be still and listen to what God would have us hear and seek the path He has for us. Jesus the Christ died to not only pay our sin debt but that we could live overcoming lives free from the bondage of fleshly desires. May your day be a blessed one.

  2. It's kind of a lose/lose situation. Either you take longer to heal because you are human...or you can heal more quickly, but those adamantium claws make typing exceptionally difficult. Pros and cons to both.

    Heal quickly!
