There are no accidents in spirituality

Napping thru days with Vicodin nights,
slow healing is my plight..
Heating pad between the thighs, 
too much pain other wise..
How much longer until I mend?
Will I ever walk again?
At times this pain is excruciating.
Now it's time for me to stop complaining.
Some say miseries are a divine blessing.
What's the lesson here God's stressing?
Why do accidents occur, slow us down,
fractures?
Do we need reminders of our mortality?
There are no accidents in spirituality..
This  painful journey,
this opportunity God sends, was it to remind me 
to surrender to him?

Dear Krish, Human services here are wonderful. It's a matter of time to heal with this type of fracture though..two to three months and I am a senior, so could take longer. Thanks for your visit and taking the time to comment..
