Greetings Dear Readers,
I’ve just completed the Physical Therapy Program I started weeks ago. It was…very…intense. Wow. I must admit that I’m glad it’s over, but I did meet a bunch of fantastic people that I won’t soon forget. They made me laugh when we should probably have been crying, and I know that they kept me sane at times. Yes, it was very, very tough. But I wouldn’t trade the experience or my new friendships away.
In addition to making so many new friends, I learned a lot about myself, as well as my injury. I needed to learn to cope with it, to manage it, and to live with it.
So, I suppose the question may be—Have I? Have I learned how?
Well, I certainly was taught skills that will allow me to be proactive against the injury I sustained a while back. And, I’ve established some lifestyle changes that will be of great assistance. I am also more educated than ever before about dealing with pain.
But, most importantly, I met people that were inspirational in the way they lived their lives. If I can do things the way they do, and have the terrific attitude that is displayed by them all the time, then I’ll be okay.
Yes, I have learned how.
Thanks everyone! And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming… :o)
