Generally, when I am confronted about the things that I write in blogs, I retract my statements and apologize. I am finally learning to stand up for myself and stand by what I think and feel. I choose my words very carefully, but I have always had trouble with how I am perceived, and when called out on it, I tend to play the victim. Not this time! This is a huge step for me, and I feel so relieved.
This is MY struggle, through MY hip surgery, and I am allowed to feel angry, sad, and scared. I am allowed to replay the events of the past and come to terms with what has happened. It is a process, and once it is complete, these feelings will be gone, but for now, it is real, and it is something I face every single day.
I do not blame anyone for what has happened, but there are still thoughts and experiences that I have to work through to answer why this happened and how to prevent it from happening again.
I am just a broken athlete trying to pick up the pieces.
