Perfect paradise, tearing at the seams.
– Imagine Dragons
One of my favorite bands, Imagine Dragons, has this line in Bad Liar. When the song came out, I was in a place of pain and this helped me forget. This was actually last fall and the pain has been at a steady 6 with jumps to 9 out of 10 for so long. Just to recap –have seen multiple specialists over the past 5 months figuring out what to do.
My surgery is now two weeks away on April 26th. I’ll have two months of pins in both of my big toes and recovery with lots of lying around in bed, watching Netflix, Amazon Prime and On Demand. For the next couple weeks, I’ll be putting together my playlist for the hospital – the music that makes me feel strong!
I am going to have my mom post as soon as she can after my surgery to let everyone know how I’m doing. 
So look me in the eyes
Tell me what you see
Perfect paradise
Tearing at the seams
I wish I could escape it
I don’t want to fake it
I wish I could erase it
Make your heart believe
-Bad Liar by Imagine Dragons

Your playlist is a great idea, Justin. Hope it all turns out well for you, and your pain will be gone soon. I’m going to have to listen to that song now, Justin. I am curious!!
