Expectations
Here’s what I believe will be the case, following my injury.
I’m not going to ride a bike for a long time.
I’m going to atrophy from my left hip down.
I’m going to get sore and strong from using crutches.
I’m going to become more flexible as I learn to put socks on my extended rigid leg.
I’m going to itch.
I’m going to do a lot more reading, drawing, and homework.
I’m going to get some cabin fever.
I’m going to gain a new perspective.
I’m going to be challenged.
I’m going to try to maintain as much independence as I can.
I’m going to apologize profusely for inconveniencing others.
I’m going to depend on friends.
I’m going to learn how many kind, generous, and caring people surround me.
