Just got back from observing patients in the Physiology Department in GH. They were having a stroke clinic whereby patients who had had a stroke performed various simple exercises. I almost started crying in there. The effort it takes for some of them just to lift a leg. It made me so sad. Imagining myself being like that. Can't even stand up, what more run? And to step onto a 3 inch block. The pure grim determination on their faces when they kept faltering, stumbling, and trying again. Patient husbands, loving wives, waiting around them with bated breath. Never giving up. Never relinquishing hope.
Time to reevalute myself.
