Rant #3,247: i Believe

Today is the day.

I begin my rehab today with my first of many days of physical therapy.

Four to six weeks right away, who knows what follows, and I am greatly anticipating getting this started.

And that is for a variety of reasons.

First, I want to get better. I want to get back to where I was before my accident happened.

That is the most important reason, dwarfing whatever other reasons I will talk about here.

But another reason I am glad that physical therapy begins tomorrow is clearly a mental thing.

I am bored ... bored beyond my wildest dreams ... or nightmares.

I am stuck on my bed watching television for a majority of the day.

It is broken up by work, and in the evening, I go.into our living room and eat dinner, then later, I watch TV with my son, but out of a 168 hour week, I am sitting in the bed with my left leg in a heavy brace and on a pillow for like 160 hours.

I read the newspaper, pretty much stringing that exercise out for almost an entire morning, only reading the paper during commercials.

But there is only so much TV one can watch, and I have pretty much reached my limit.

I have always been a person who does what he wants to do when he wants it, but my life was turned upside down by this terrible injury, and my entire mindset has had to change.

I know I have to ne patient, but patience has its limits.

I know I have a long way to go to get back to where I should be, but looking at the months it will take, it is making me crazy.

But I also know that the process will only work if I fully buy into.it, and I have done just that.

I pretty much don't have much of a choice.

It is all very frustrating, but today is the day thst i might get a better read on all of this.

I can't cross my legs, so let's keep our fingers crossed.

I need all the luck I can get.
