There's been a big change in my life recently. 3 months after falling off a bus and breaking my ankle, I am officially cleared by my doctor as fully healed! This process has been long and arduous, and I am so thankful that I was able to take the time I needed to be off my feet. My job was accommodating, and my mom was incredibly helpful by taking care of me for six weeks. While my bone is officially fully healed, I'm not 100% back to where I was. I get tired so easily and I'm not back up to my full strength yet. However, I think I'm being rather impatient in just assuming that I can immediately get back to my old self. Stairs are still a bit of trouble for me, but I can make it! I just take a bit of time to get there!
I'm working on keeping the positive attitude I was forced to adopt during my injury. It was the only way for me to cope with how helpless I felt, so I'm trying to carry it with me even as I slowly get back to my life pre-broken ankle. Remaining positive is something I struggle with personally, especially when my anxiety starts to rear its ugly head. I'll have to keep reminding myself how lucky I am to have what I have and to where I am. Sometimes life throws you a curveball like a broken bone just to give you a chance to see what you have an be grateful for it.
Here's to my new life getting back to my old life! I'm so excited to be walking and thinking positively - I hope both last!
