I needed this "compassion". I hurt myself a lot (hands and wrists mostly), but refuse to act like an old lady and protect my wounds! I learned some good lessons from my grandpa who retired from severe arthritis at 45. Until right before he died at 89, he was doing push ups and pull ups and stretching, etc. daily. As a child I never understood him, but now I thoroughly understand!
