I can walk without a walker. After 8 months with the walker, it was another 3 months with crutches. Finally, a cane nearly a year after I trashed my leg. Now - 20 months today, I've only just started to manage to walk without a cane in certain circumstances.

A major accomplishment!

And there have been many internal changes that came with this injury. Too many to list here. Apart from the pain, I'm grateful for all this situation has given me.

This is a beautiful article, Cristina. Thank you so much for sharing your insights on this important subject. I can't imagine being a person who is not interested in self-improvement. An article like this could open many eyes. 💜
