2 weeks

Holy smokes I am bored.

We are exactly 2 weeks out from my accident and I am still on house arrest. Today is my first day home alone and it's been wonderful to have some solo time, but my gosh I am bored.

I started working out yesterday (things I can do in a chair - basically weights with my arms) and I am adding reps each day. I'm looking forward to adding more and seeing how many I can get up to before I am allowed to actually move around more. I have also decided that walking on crutches is my cardio.. although false, it gives me some sort of peace.

I've found myself Googling my injury to get input on peoples' recovery. It's a very strange thing- when I am hurting it's like I think there are so many more things jacked in my leg (which could be the case- I see my doc tomorrow) and when I'm not hurting I feel like I can just get up and walk.. which of course I CAN'T do. It's an emotional thing to go back and forth during the day.

I am so incredibly grateful that this is my only injury and that in body and mind I am a strong person. I have always said 'I train for life' and this couldn't be a better example of that saying. In my mind it is because of my strong bones that I wasn't hurt more.

Signing off, ciao!
