Not Sicker

It amazes me what the human body can endure.  I went for my check up today and the tests were fine.  My blood cell counts are as good as they were months ago.  You take drugs that kill cells (good and bad) that are fast growing then you take drugs that help deal with the bad side effects.  Does that make the the good, bad?  or the bad, good?
I have a bit of time on my hands waiting for the lab and then the lab results before I even get into a room.  I read alot but have to look away occasionally to rest my eyes.  The people there are so fantastic !  Some can barely move, but they just pull up their pants and keep on shuffling along.  When does the human spirit give up?
When I first went on DS I didn't realize what I was doing and got involved with some friends who threatened to hurt themselves or give up entirely and they had good healthy bodies.
 Isn't the mind a wonderful  thing bent one way and a terrible thing bent the other.  I do believe that self focus is seriously scarey.  I mean, we need to know ourselves and where we need to be but too much and bango, dango, oops.
My gram always said idle hands were the devil's workshop.
