Day 34

I was warned about this.

At my last physio appointment, a fellow reconstructed knee owner was looking glum. When his physio asked how's it going, he simply replied: "The novelty is wearing off". Indeed.

At the time, I was still optimistic and a tad overconfident. I'll be better in no time. This is easy. Nothing can stop me. I'm a superstar.

Maybe it's the fact that it's snowing in April or that I seem to have hit a plateau these past few days. Probably both. Mireille hasn't seen much improvement in me lately, and it's obviously reflected in her mood and motivation. To make things worse, I've been hurting. Shouldn't the pain and potential for pain be gone by now?

I was warned it wouldn't always be smooth sailing.
