Hello everyone! This is going to be more of a general update since I’m pretty much back where I was since the last goals update. By the end of January, I was actually doing very well. I had a great schedule and routine that worked well for me. Then, I got injured in February.
It ended up
being a dislocated kneecap and avulsion fracture. For a while, my coping skills
were taken away from me. I was in pain and not sleeping, not able to walk to
clear my head or exercise to get the tension out. Honestly, I went into a low-motivation
slump for a few months which was only exacerbated by lockdowns, Visa paperwork,
job stress, and more lockdowns.
After a
re-buckling incident, I’m being sent for an MRI which is in a few weeks, and I’ll
know if there’s anything more serious going on. I’m incredibly grateful for physio
and the Sports Clinic in my city that was able to treat me quickly and
effectively.
The other
good news is that I woke up a couple weeks ago feeling like myself again. I no
longer felt like I didn’t want to do anything. I’ve being slowly working on
building up my routines again which also managing teaching online and tutoring
in the evening.
I’m working
on being gentle with myself and forgiving myself for what I see as digressions.
I’m working on what I know will help me feel like myself. I’ve also been in
therapy since January which is helping me work through this roller-coaster of a
year.
Overall, I’m
okay. I’m getting through it. I’m doing what I need to do to heal my knee and
my emotions again. I’m trying to journal it out, get to bed at a decent time,
and complete my healing exercises. I will get there!
How are you
all doing?
