Feeling rather antsy, unsettled and distracted lately. Having bouts of crying uncontrollably about every other day too. I think as I get near my one year mark (both injury and surgery) feelings are getting a little intense. I'm super unhappy about my recovery progress this far out.
My limited capabilities really get to me on some days. Yes, of course I realize there are far worse situations out there, but I can't ride all day, everyday on gratitude highs. That waxes and wanes. The progress feels invisible most of the time. Walking on sidewalks and treadmills is getting really old. Not to mention my knee hurts. The tape is starting get really uncomfortable, but it's hurts more without the tape so I will keep taping. Today I will focus on the small wins!
Tonight is rehab night, where I will do my three SHORT rehab exercises given to me by the Australian tendon expert (I use the equipment at Planet Fitness). I will do 35 minutes of stationary bike too. I will walk outside midday because it's going to be nice out. I have no idea when I get to do more exercises. I feel like I need to be doing more, but she is the expert and her magical taping method worked - first thing to help my pain! So you can see why I want to do whatever she says.
