LoL<br /><br /> CoMeBaCks are not easy and we have to ALWAYS ReMeMBeR to be GeNTLe with OuRSeLVeS, accepting where we're at and simply strive to do the VERY BeST we can on a daily basis. It can be hard to be PaTieNT with OURSELVES, let alone everyone else sometimes, I know it is for me....I'm not the same person I was a year ago & neither is my BoDy, but I'm trying everyday & that's ALL I can do.

My knee injury (a year ago Wed.) was severe, although not as much as your injuries ... except that I probably wasn't as healthy as you before it. I just noticed today that I can cross the street a few seconds faster than I could as recently as a few weeks ago. (Bless those blinking numbers counting down the time & giving me hope!) And while people may think that I look like I'm walking "normally" ... I don't feel like I am since my knee is so tight. No one else can have exactly your same perspective on your healing. I can see how your "celebrity status" in Tucson could make such a private thing as your health and healing harder to deal with since you aren't really permitted to keep it all private. I like the way Megan said it: You've put your big girl panties on and are doing what you need to do to heal. Amen! You go, girl!ForestGirlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-14390127645240867492012-04-30T07:33:35.605-07:002012-04-30T07:33:35.605-07:00AB, I think you are making good progress and the f...AB, I think you are making good progress and the fact that you can acknowledge you have to pep yourself up to get yourself motivated just means that you are making progress. Think about it... would you have been able to do the things you are doing now a year ago? The sheer fact that you are at the gym and spending an hour there is a great improvement. And if you are limping some, who's to say anything about it. Everyone heals in their own time/way. I find it incredulous that someone would even say that to you. Just imagine if you hadn't been in the great shape you were in before being perforated. You would not be this far along. Because you are already a healthy person, you are far more ahead than others would be. You should really take that into consideration. You were seriously hurt and it will take time. <br /><br />And even though you said to not say you are swell, I still admire you so much. Your resilience and perseverance are to be applauded and admired. You are a true inspiration to so many of us. You've put your big girl panties on and are doing what you need to do to heal. <br /><br />I'm off to the gym myself. You've inspired me to get down there earlier than I had planned. <br /><br />Sending hugs, <br /><br /><br />Megan xxxMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622415628314992252noreply@blogger.com
