Whatever we are doing is right where we are ment to be. I believe that everything happens for a reason, even though we get frustrated, angry and disappointed about it. It really makes me get to know myself recovering from this injury. One set I can be totally happy with just the feeling of being back on my board and perfectly happy with jumping the wake and the next set I get frustrated because I want so much more. All the physio practice lets me take two steps forwards but then I push it too hard and it’s one step back. I’m finding it so hard that the way forwards is to rest, I mean “I’m so stoked let’s do this to reach my goal = Sit on the couch, flexing my foot in a theraband”.
I know my injury isn’t even one of the worse ones. A dislocated ankle VS Dallas Fridays femur split in 9 places? Or My friend Charlotte’s knee injuries? For me though, it’s a huge deal not to even be able to go for a run to clear my head. What do you do when you get injured? How did you get through it? I’d love to hear your advice and thoughts. What I do is to focus on the positive things like how much better I’ve gotten in the past 5 moths, how much I love just cutting glassy water with my board and how warm the sun feels on my skin. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
