Hi guys,
this post has morphed into a lot more than just the physiology of a broken heel and more into how to cope with things that restrict us from doing what we love - which is good (the morphing of the post, I mean)! Because, at least I for myself, can't look at the accident without also thinking (and sorry about the esoteric new-age babble) that there may be some lesson from the universe for me and that forcing me to stop and realign my thoughts is one of the benefits coming out of lying low for a while.
Maybe just a bit of background: when I broke my hip 1,5 years ago (freak accident when rim of mountainbike tire failed and the whole bike gave way under me), it was the first time that I was not only forced into immobility but were also completely dependent on other people (luckily, I could wipe my own arse!), but it shattered my whole identify which had been all about me running around, doing things, being strong and fit. So, all i had were my bloody thoughts, racing around in my head. long story cut short, it allowed me to realise a few things in my life that were just not going right (mainly my job) and make a few changes to try to live more true to myself. maybe there is some more to it now. at least, I'm reading a lot and (yeah, you can laugh) meditate and guess what - it helps as much with a positive outlook as all your posts (ODH's included). Thanks!!!
