So the last time I posted on my blog was October 30, 2009. Two days later, I suffered an injury while horseback riding breaking my wrist, jamming up my finger, and tearing ligaments on my shoulder. I did not know at the time how bad it was, but it was, and today is a good day for many reasons. First I have to let you know I never broke a bone in my body before. This was all new to me. I have a permanent plate in my wrist and a bump on my shoulder forever. I learned alot about myself, my friends, my body, and life itself.
After this whole experience, this I know for sure: (1) The human body is a remarkable thing. How it is designed, functions, and recovers is unbelieveable. (2) Take care of your body. It's the only one you have. Exercise, eat healthy, and make sure you get the essential vitamins, minerals, etc. it needs. It's okay to splurge now and then, but take care of your body cause it will take care of you. (3) You are stronger than you think you are. Your mind and attitude has tremendous effects on how you get through tough times. Stay positive, work hard, and be patient. (4) You can't live without friends. They are your life line at times and will be there for you without expecting anything in return. Friends are the best! (5) Live your life now. Don't put off what you can do today. What are you waiting for?
Now that I've got that off my chest, thanks for listening, thanks to my friends, my mom, and my dog, Bisquit. And I couldn't end this without saying thanks to my hand therapist, Jesse, and my shoulder therapist, John. Jesse gave me the t-shirt today, my last day of therapy, pictured above. I still have lots of work to do but today I am officially "out of rehab!"
