I spent weeks preparing for surgery.
Nobody prepared me for recovery.
Not because it was painful.
Because it was… boring 😂
I imagined I would finally read books I’d been putting off.
Watch all the shows I’d saved.
Catch up on work emails.
Instead I mostly…
walked a little.
napped.
looked out the hotel window.
checked my swelling.
then repeated everything again.
As a PT, I knew recovery was supposed to be slow.
I just didn’t realise how slow time itself would feel.
What did you do to keep yourself busy during recovery?

I feel like everyone must have their own survival strategy 😅
