Well today marks the 9 week mark from my little accident in mid July.
Lets break this down. 9 weeks = 63 days = 1512 hours = 90720 minutes.
To think I had to lay there for 15 minutes til I got someone's attention. That's nothing to all the time that has passed since!
Now if you've seen me in the past few weeks, many of you probably can't even tell that I dislocated my hip. All that is thanks to the grace of God. Ever since getting medically and physically cleared on August 31st I've been "slowly" getting back into the swing of my active lifestyle.
Yet there are many things that have come to be from my little spill. The most noticeable to me is the loss of leg muscle and flexibility. Then in the earlier weeks my movement was drastically limited but as time has progressed movement has increased thankfully. Time has been my biggest ally at the moment since with each passing day my physical ailments lessen and my return to top form draws nearer.
However overall the physical repercussions are nothing compared to the things that affected me mentally and spiritually.
Patience. Now that is one of the major things I really struggled with during my idleness. The want to just quickly bounce back and be running around was eating away at me. However I knew for the best that I'd have to just take things slow which was just oh so awful. Yet I began to notice that my patience indeed become better with waiting, perhaps with people my patience wasn't getting better but that's a different story.
Humility. For years I've struggled with this but then with my accident God just happened to bring this all back to me. I was taken aback on how much the Lord takes care of me and how no matter what I do can I truly plan my life out. It is all thanks to Him that I'm still alive and writing this as well as healing in such a
quick fashion.
Mentally with this I've become stronger I want to say. Though at the same time I've been weakened. It'll be awhile that mental blocks will be passed, however determination and grit have become strengthened. My drive to achieve has increased and my wish to impact people in the most loving way has become another goal for me.
I began to realize that I was a living example of God's extended grace and love in how I'm here still on earth. Obviously I have a purpose to fulfill and am anxious to fulfill whatever for the Lord. I don't know what He has in store for me but I'm a prime example of a small miracle with only a dislocated hip and banged up rotator cuff.
There are probably more things that I could go on about, but the best way to probably find out about that would to just talk to me or ask. Who knows what else I'll learn from all this.
For in every situation a lesson is learned.
