I am going on week 4. I am feeling stronger and more energetic every day. I’ve had the energy to go on my pilates machine for an hour. Yesterday I told a friend that now I am used to the apparatus on my ankle. Its like boyfriends. At first, they feel foreign, but then you get used to them, even if they are good for you or not. We somehow adapt to circumstances. Of course, if they are unpleasant circumstances, there is eventual breakdown or a possibility for repair, like my ankle.
I feel like the caterpillars in my butterfly garden. I’m crawling, taking it slow because I have no other choice but to accept it as the best option, because if I go too fast, I might fall. (I already have 2x and it hurt!) and with a lot of bruises on my other leg. So slowly but surely…recovery happens..like everything in life. Time heals all. I’m being good to myself. And yes, as I told my son, its all about me right now. And that’s OK.
