    Do your physical therapy. All of it. Its not fun in the short term but will become something you don’t remember doing and you’ll heal much faster

      • I work with a lot of badly injured people and my two pieces of advice based on my experience is to be committed to your pt and to practice mindfulness as a way to reduce the effects of pain. Pain disrupts sleep and concentration, and is really fucking exhausting.
