"If you're going to go through pain get something out of it." Eric Thomas
It's day 3 post ACL reconstruction for me. The first two days were definitely a challenge, but I feel like I have gotten much better in the past 3-4 hours. I have officially started doing heel slides, heel props, ankle pumps, calf stretches, and hamstring stretches every hour on the hour. In only 48 hours, I have learned so much more about myself, specifically, I have learned that you can take so much more pain than you thought possible. Pain truly is temporary. While going that extra centimeter or inch during a set of heel slides may seem impossible, while the pain may seem unbearable, the truth is you can do it. And this is not limited to the heel slides, it's just a fact of life. When the pain subsides something will be left. The question is what will takes its place? I'm doing everything I can to have success fill the void that the pain will leave. At the end of the day when your time is ready--will you be ready?
Believe and Become. JG
