I really like a lot of Manson's little essays; thanks!
Nah, hon, you don't sound like a martyr - all of us of a Certain Age have aches and pains as permanent companions, like sharing a house with one's disagreeable relatives. It sucks, but they're family, so one gets used to accommodating them, and life goes on.
The people who sound like martyrs are those who act like they ought to get a medal for suffering, and that's definitely not you.
