It is discouraging. But at the time same, I know it could have been worse.

Tough times don't last, but tough people do. And I've been through some tough times, and I know a lot of people can recall tough times, and maybe are going through some tough times right now, but they don't last.

It's an unfortunate circumstance. But if I had to pick a time to get injured, I'd have picked this time, before we go into the post-season.

Once my doctor began treating my kidney disease, my greatest challenge was the constant exhaustion. Fortunately, my doctor explained that anemia was causing my exhaustion and that people with serious illnesses, like kidney disease, may be at increased risk for anemia.

There's a disappointment there because I still feel there's an emptiness in my career that just wasn't filled.
