This coming
Monday 9/18 I’m going to the UCLA for few final med. tests to finalize the
approval to the participation to the stem cell trial I’ve been dreaming to
receive in order to “fix” my brain.
However, as
in my title here it truly is never over for me simply because few months ago I
fell from my “beloved” wheelchair as I was pulling up my pants and – ooohhhh surprise
surprise – I had my femur broken so bad that I received the surgery detailed in
these 2 pictures here that shows how much metal, screws and nails it took to “reassemble”
my femur almost
as it was.
Now I’m
thinking that no matter that my brain will recover its injury well, I’m still
going to be prisoner of a wheelchair…….BUT no
matter that my remaining to be a prisoner, the fact that this could make my Queen (Michele) et. al. correct is more than sufficient
for me to focus my immensely strong mind into running a half marathon before I’ll
be 60 y/o.
This circumstance
has made me think very often to one of the last things that my dad (Saint Gianfranco) taught to me few months before he
passed over, that’s about the pain that any father suffers when one of his
children gets hurt or gets in trouble. I connected this to the reason why our
God came on earth as Jesus to die by crucifixion in order to expiate sins and
pains of his children, all of us. Saints like St. Francis might say: “bring it
on!” well that’s NOT what I’d ever say myself, all I say is that this is yet another
challenge that will need all my focus and hard work to be (finally) overcome (too).
Now all I
can think of is W.T.F. how could such a disaster may have happened to me, wasn’t
it sufficient that my brain is badly injured already? What was I thinking so
bad that my own personal God would decide to give such hurtful additional
obstacle? Truth is that no matter how much I tried to find the answer, I’m
still without any; this means that I’ll have to figure out the way to start to
run again after this new treatment that already seems to give exceptional
results. Maaybee
I won’t run half a mile BUT no doubt I’ll be
swimming a full mile very soon!!
