When I saw the "Enjoy" title I thought it was gonna be a link to some awesome video or the likes. I kept reading waiting for the rewarding part to kick in, hoping for some bel-air type joke but no, it just kept getting progressively worse.
The part to enjoy is that you're alive and well and can scratch your own ass plus a million other fun things to do.

It's like the book the Death of Ivan Illyich ... a silly accident over a trivial house-chore suddenly becomes the dominant factor over a person's life and death, and you can't help but reflect on how capricious life and fate are. So you learn to appreciate the good days. Reading that post I had a lot of the same feelings I had from that book: Why is fate such an ass sometimes, nobody deserves that, and holy shit am I happy to be alive and healthy right now.

Still his terrible and random fate struck me in a way, putting my own worries firmly into perspective.
Indeed. Sorry, man. :(

Lying at the bottom he called his wife and told her that he had "done something pretty stupid" and that he couldn't feel his legs any more.
That's pretty damn calm.
My condolences, Kolya.

I needed that Koyla, though I'm sorry to hear about your uncle. It puts my shitty week into perspective for sure.
