Continue reading →: 人生无常:We Are So Fragile
上个周末,我本该是个 征服 180 公里狂野山路的硬汉。结果呢?我成了个 15 分钟就退赛的“脆皮”。 不是摔车,不是爆胎,更不是惊天动地的大事故…一切,就毁在蹲下去帮轮胎打气的那一秒!对,你没看错,就是打气! 蹲在爱车旁,气筒还没打几下,忽然屁股和腰之间,像被闪电劈中 。痛得我当场僵住,差点在油站原地扑街。荒诞又可笑 接下来的日子,简直折磨走路从卧室挪到厕所像走长征,每一步都伴着呻吟。 睡觉平躺、侧卧、趴着… 全部痛。脊椎深处像烧红的铁棍在搅。连续两晚睁眼到天亮,才明白 能睡着,其实是最大幸福。 起身要十分钟慢慢把自己“组装”起来,像软体动物爬行。那一刻才懂,健康从来不是理所当然。 当初我的中医师,检查并出结论: 痛到难以忍受,我今天只好去看专科。医生看我那副东歪西倒的走路姿势,摸东摸西皱眉一挥手:“别讲了,马上住院!MRI + X光!” 走之前,还慈悲地在我屁股扎了一针止痛。那一针下去,我才勉强像个人,而不是一滩痛苦的泥。 躺在医院,等冰冷仪器X Ray 时, 那一刻,我忽然很清醒。在身体面前,所谓的体面,脆弱得像一张纸。在健康面前,金钱,只是冰冷的数字。 我今年 56 岁,才更懂这一点别把健康当理所当然。 好好睡觉。天塌下来也要睡得着。这两晚,我却连这个最基本的幸福都没有。 人生无常,脆弱到荒诞。一场 180 公里的越野梦想,竟然败在一个小小的“打气”动作。 朋友们,We are so fragile.能呼吸、能走路、能好好睡觉,已经是命运给我们最大的奢侈。 别等失去才后悔。今天,就珍惜你还拥有的健康吧。 PS : 保佑我不需要在腰间动手术.
