Learning Patiences

Patiences is not a strong virtue of mine....we live in a society of instant fixes and instant satisfaction....and I know I have fallen into that mindset as well.....but I have to take a step back and realize that I can't have everything I want in this very moment.....

I am 3 months out of my surgery and had my follow up last week...and everything is moving along accordingly and even slightly ahead of schedule....my xrays were good....and I started Physical Therapy today to work on my range of motion....and my surgeon lifted some restrictions (some .... thats where my learning patience part needs to come in).....I can now lift 15-20 pounds....and I can keep doing the exercises I have been at the gym.....but still no jarring movements....aka running or high impact activities (damn)...my physical therapist figures that I won't be in therapy for long....that my issues are more muscle tightness than anything and that by stretching my neck out and training my trapezius to relax it should get better quickly

So I can get back to this:

But for now I just need to be patient and know that some day soon I will be able to do what I want...its just not as soon as I would like!
