You can Do It

M.E.M.

You can do it

You’ve been through—

I have not been through worse!

Are you joking?

You can do it.

 

I can do it.

Finally, the day’s over.

Sleep.

Not again!

AUGH!

Morphine!

Sleep. All I ask for is pain-free sleep.

 

I can do it.

Just one foot

In front of the other

That’s it!

Oh, but god the pain!

Keep going, you got this.

 

I can do it.

No, I can’t! I’m goin’ down.

Get back up you fool!

You’re calling yourself that you know.

Yeah… well…

You can do it. I can do it.

 

Day... I don’t know

But I did it.

December 2, I finished chemo.

 

 

(Will the cancer come back?)
