day 414 : missing my body a little bit (ok, a lotta bit) today. . return to work has been more difficult than i’ve given it space for. been go go go the past few weeks without really processing how i feel about it. . working at a college recreation center means you’re surrounded by fit and capable bodies that like to move and play and exert massive amounts of effort. and i’m reminded every moment that i don’t recognize or trust this new body. i try to be present and positive, but spinal cord injury is like a snapchat filter that never turns off and has dampened my flame a bit. sorry if i’ve been a downer lately (and i know i shouldn’t be apologizing for it, but still) . anyway. it’s not all darkness inside of me these days. my burpee is getting stronger every time i try it, and our brand new fitness facility inspired me to get on my head again. i guess bionic spine still works the same upside down. . . . #rebuild #spinalcordinjury #scirecovery #learningtowalkagain #notimeforparalysis #whatparalysis #notalldisabilitiesarevisible #paraplegiclife #incompleteparaplegic #thecomebackisstrongerthanthesetback #brokenbody #bionicbadass #lifeaftersci #nothingisofflimits #exerciseismedicine #moveyourbody #takecareofyourbodyandyourbodywilltakecareofyou #liveyourbestlife #craighospital #chickswithsticks #keeponkeepinon #neverstopplaying #justgottagetthroughit #vulnerabilityisstrength #disabledandcute (at Clemson University) -- source link
