Progressing Slowly

PT again today, with a notable quote from my PT while he was causing me much pain:
"If you were any less of a person, you wouldn't be able to handle this. But you were chosen for this."-S.

Somehow, in a matter of 4 days, I went from only being able to do (painful) semi-circles on a stationary bike, to full (painless) revolutions. I really have no explanation for this. Miracle. Most definitely.

Being on a bike and not being able to complete full revolutions was, as S. put it "humiliating, yes." That does not even give the amount of frustration justice.

Everyone knows I have little to no patience (R.I.P. Patience the Fish) when it comes to certain situations, and this whole leg recovery thing is one of those. Obviously, I am aware that I have to take it slow. And be careful. But it does not mean that I can not progress. That's such an interesting phenomenon- the concept of progressing slowly. It's something I have never followed, believed, or trusted. But I suppose now is as good a time as any.

Time is once again proving to be the best worst friend by simply passing.
