In 2011, I got hit by a car and sprained my whole body. I was in extreme pain for 6 months and lost my job, lesser but still lots of pain for 2years and then about 3 months ago I declared myself pain free on face book. My hip flexor and quadricep found that the right moment to go on strike. They had felt neglected and over worked for the last couple of years. Today, I have worked trough that problem and more modestly suggest that I am mostly pain free. I am thankful for my body being largely functional and free of painful restrictions. I am thankful the car didn't kill me and I am thankful for the lessons that adversity forced me to learn. I am also thankful I am more aware around cars so I will not repeat these lessons.
