Chronic Injuries

Over the last few years I have been suffering from shoulder injuries, two years ago I was doing physio and trying to build it back up.  I finished physio and  thought I was back on the mend.  This lasted a few months until I was frustrated and over did it one day which sent me back to square one.  The problem is that I did not have sever pain but a constant dull throbbing, sometimes bothering me enough that I have to sleep on my back.  It's lasted so long that now its even causing embarrassment as I feel that I am always making excuses.  I know I don't always give 100%, I will stop short afraid that I may cause more damage.

One of my goals this year is to take better care of myself.  I am finally tired of modified push-ups and not really progressing.  I had a therapeutic message which loosened things up enough that I actually felt pain when I overexerted and that made me know I had to give it time to heal.  I have physio rebooked this week but this time I am not giving up.  I know it will be a long journey but I also know that if I don't do anything, I will never get better. 

As I write this out, it has also made me realize that this is a prime example of accepting mediocracy in my life.  So not only am I going to work to get better, I am not going to accept mediocracy.
See you at the kwoon!
