Days like it seemed to be today was a day he had hard to stay positive. Many didn't think he had bad days and he long time ago had accepted his dissability, with being paralized from the middle and down. Sure often his mood was good, and he rarley showed when things wasn't 100%. But as probably many of the normal people he had his bad days too. Often it seemed to come when it was cold, full moon and of course after days he had been very active. Like now.
His whole body seemed to shout out in pain, even if he still technical couldn't feel his lower body. People should just know how it was with phantom pain. Even if he didn't miss any parts the doctor had told him that he felt was what those that amputee limbs also felt. He could have tried to evade the pain somehow, but it also could harm him. Through the years he had learned to not try to act out on that, instead take the pain medication he was perscribed for moments like this.
Very often days like this he come to ask himself; why me? Not only once. He had get better to hide his feelings and learned to live with the question like he know he would always need a wheelchair. He actually had a very good life with suporting family, freinds and a great girlfriend. Just the thoughts of Mary let his darker thoughts go away. He saw a future with her. Only it could last and she didn't tired of him.
