Injuired AGAIN. | Elin Härkönens blogg

Injuired AGAIN. One of the hardest things with being injuired is probably that I can't do everything I normally do. Everything in life gets affected. Things that we normally do without thinking becomes a challenge. Right now everything hurts....breathing, eating, sitting, standing and walking... I've got restrictions from the doctors, and are not allowed to do anything that hurts. I am not allowed to use my upperbody for 4-6 weeks. I am not even allowed to sleep on one side. I am not allowed to pull myself out of bed. I am not allowed to carry anything heavier than 2-5 kg. No driving, not climbing, no pulling or lifting. I've been through this before, so I know how difficult it is. But I am trying to see it as a strength. The fact that I've been in a similar situation before will help me speed up the recovery process. This injury is not even close to how serious it was 4,5 years ago. I am already walking!! I managed to get through a broken neck, so I can definitely get through a broken sternum. I am so thankful it didn't get worse... I have been so lucky. but of course it sucks to be injured again. BREAK IT and you will MAKE IT Now I am just waiting to hear back from my insurance company and the doctors to see when I can fly back home to Sweden.
