In my last blog, I mentioned that I broke my finger and since then, I have gotten my pins removed from surgery and am cast free!

Although, my finger is stiff as can be and cannot work as it should... I am in the recovery stage and I am starting to attend physical therapy twice a week! Also, for the 6 weeks I was casted, I was prohibited from any activities that increased my heart rate because of the swelling around the surgery area. Now of course going from being an athlete who trained about 3 hours a day to absolutely nothing was an extremely drastic change. Just two days ago I started exercising again and the first thing I thought to myself was, "where do I start?". After a facing an injury that is that great of a setback, how do you begin again? It is hard to find the motivation to come back after sitting around for so long but the main thing pushing me is knowing I want to be even better than I was before. I have started hiking and did my first workout yesterday. Although it was about a 5 minute exercise, I am definitely feeling it today.

While I am slowly getting back into the routine of moving and being active, I have also been practicing shooting a basketball with my right hand. Just the little I have been getting to do one handed has improved my shot greatly! So my message to any athlete who has faced an injury and is trying to find their way back to normal just remember to do whatever you can while recovering and look forward to returning to what you love!
