| I was an impromptu fitness model once. This is my leg before it started misbehaving. |
It's tough to be patient. Even when it's been proven that impatience is detrimental to healing, and, in truth, detrimental to just about anything in life, it's still not an easily natural human trait to be genuinely patient.
Certainly I learned the hardest of ways that I had to be patient, with this stupid leg problem of mine, what with all the times I would get it so far toward better, and then screw up all that progress by doing something boneheaded like a long trail ride with competitive friends. It is a bit ridiculous, despite all that, that even now, while I know slow and careful is the best way to go toward healing, I still get astonishingly jealous of someone who says 'I was out for 3 hours yesterday on trail with my buddy so-and-so'. You know, considering that a long trail ride would just set me RIGHT BACK where I was before I started all this good healing work?
