Pardon me if this entry is a bit short! As most of you know I broke my 4th metacarpal a week ago! Typing with my left hand is improving and so are doing everyday chores. It’s amazing how quickly the body can adapt. It’s even more amazing how powerful the mind can be. I’m not going to lie, not being able to workout and do my everyday activities is very frustrating and quite depressing. We all are guilty of taking our health for granted.
I know this is just a small bump in the road and that I will fully recover from this. I will get back to my regular physical activities once the cast comes off in 8 weeks. Until then I will focus on keeping a positive mindset to get me through the frustrating times. I also have every intention of getting back to my American Ninja Warrior training as well. On the bright side, maybe this is the story I needed to get on the show for season 9? I would love to avoid the walk on line this next season:)
It can always be worse and this injury will pass! This also made me realize how lucky I am to have such a great support network. I would like to thank my folks, friends clients for all the help and well wishes, every little bit helps! I am looking forward to coming out of this stronger than ever!
