Freak Out Moment



August 8, 2013


My leg stiffens up every morning and it’s like starting from square one again. The Epsom salt baths really help get me moving each day. I had brunch with a good friend and it felt wonderful to catch up and feel half-way normal, besides the robot leg. 


Afterwards, I had to go to an American Express travel branch as a favor for someone, spent forever there and ended up leaving my driver’s license, in which I had to drive all the way back, thus making me late for an appointment and my first real freak-out episode since my injury. I was pissed and had absolutely no control over my emotions. I had calmed down by the time I got to my office/dojo and hanging out with the kids helped me to relax and live in the moment. 


I came home early and cooked dinner, propped my knee up and took a rest. After a while, I did all of my physical therapy exercises including straight leg raises, heels slides, quad/ham/butt sets, etc. I think I overdid it because me knee started to hurt towards bedtime.
