I hope that I can say the same when I am 82. Unfortunately, I have battled depression, but overcame it. I have a fairly high pain tolerance, don't take pain medicine if I can at all avoid it.

I very much enjoyed this article. I plan on letting my kids read it, to show them that they CAN do stuff, to not be afraid of any pain that might come from it. My son has shown his capacity for this after he broke both bones in his forearm last year. The hospital gave him morphine for pain, then Lortab 5 for pain after we left the hospital. He didn't take the meds after we went home. Now, if I can just get them to realize that playing and "getting hurt" doesn't have to actually hurt =).
