"All lies and jest still, a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest." simon and garfunkel hear me. listen, let my knees sing to you the songs of their people crackling like fire like gears with no lubrication moving ever forward ever aging against themselves my toe heals from being cut open bunion surgery at 40 I age with a false smile I age with an awkward pain scale the doctor says I’m fine just a little physical therapy lose some weight lighten the load i carry lighten the load that is me he sees me as BMI a magic diagnoses obese size 18 my complaints no longer matter i am diagnosed f a t. fibromyalgia is real but the pain isn’t i am told no opiates no muscle relaxers nothing to calm my nerves or sing me to sleep i am told that even ibuprofen should be more limited chronic pain is long term learn to wait it out learn to b r e a t h e past it i learn that my grimaces my yelps my eleven thousand steps a day my massages and my psychiatrist my 7 on the pain scale fall on deaf ears diagnosis complete my thoughts are released to the still air he hears what he sees he thinks he understands my doctor thinks I am fat my laughs fall like tears my pain is more than bmi my pain deserves to be heard I deserve to be heard

1 - I stubbed my toe on the mat
2 - That was briefly uncomfortable
3 - Huh. That's a new feeling
4 - I'll need to do that again before it goes into the routine
5 - All the good tricks hurt
6 - I'll go get a drink of water
7 - Just let me lie here on the mat for a minute
8 - Anyone got tape?
9 - I probably shouldn't train any more today. Or at least take a break
10 - well is the bone actually sticking out? Will the costume hide it?
But we did find that when my friend broke both heels and was describing the pain as a 6, she really needed to be saying 10 to get the attention she needed. They didn't believe her and made her stand up for the x-ray!
