I have had my share of injuries throughout my Kung Fu training, and I am relatively used to making adjustments to my training to compensate. However, I am finding the injuries from the accident harder to work past. On one hand, they don't seem like big injuries to me, but they are bigger than I give them credit for. It's been a month, but I still struggle with my neck and shoulders, which has increased the frequency of migraines. And there's my lower back, which has contributed to being more stiff and sore all the time.
I know that I will get better. The hardest part is training smart and keeping things in perspective. I have good days where I end up pushing too hard, and then of course the consequences after. I know that this is part of the journey, and it will ultimately make me stronger. I have learned some empathy towards those who suffer from chronic back pain and empathy for those that have way bigger challenges to face. This too shall pass.
On another note, I had to post this picture of a sign in Spruce Grove. It speaks to me...

It will pass. Patience is a virtue, although a frustrating one. I'm happy to cover any classes I can for you if necessary. Hope you're feeling better soon. I do like that stop sign!
