Reversal

Recently read an inspiring story from Sunday Times about a gal joining a marathon. She is planning to finish it by walking. One year ago she was involved in an accident when she was cycling. She was in coma for a few months and had a number of fractures in different parts of her body. It is a terrible setback for her as she is a very sporty person. She used to cry but was inspired when she read books about people who have overcome such similar incidents and regain top spots in the various sports events. Thus she worked on regaining her physical and mental strength. This time, 1 year after her accident, she is ready to challenge a marathon again.

I am encouraged by her. My injury is of course nothing compared to her, but having to deal with pain with every step is nevertheless daunting. Especially after recovering for 4 weeks and be able to wear normal shoe again and yet unexpectedly hurt it again yesterday putting me back to the stage weeks ago when every step is painful. I guess I just have to start all over in the recovery process. Hmmm... really need to be careful and not walk much until it fully heals.

This will certainly pass and I am looking forward to engaging in active sports again. Wait for me whatever exciting activities are awaiting out there! :)
