I broke my nose a few weeks ago. I know, I know….poor me. I’ll save you all the details, but just know I got into a fight with a 35lb weight plate and a fly.
During the course of stopping the blood and cleaning up the weight area, I told my mentor I was
done with my workout for the day. I mean I had just completed 40 mins of cardio and about 30 mins of weight training. I think I had satisfied government recommendations.
After I applied a bandage to my nose and ensured the only way someone would know there was blood in the room was if they went through there with a black light; I told myself I could finish the workout.
Then I told my mentor.....She looked at me like I had lost my mind. She asked is I was sure….double sure….triple sure.
I confirmed I was and we finished our workout. I then went on to look at homes, complete my weekly grocery shopping and my meal prep for the week.
It wasn’t until later that I went to a local urgent care facility and was told my nose was broken. I was blessed to have a clean break, so no resetting was necessary.
I was knocked down, but not knocked out.
As much as I hate to admit it; that’s been my life.
I’ve found myself in pain; be it mental, physical, emotional or spiritual. Sometimes the pain was self inflicted, others it was not. Despite my pain, I’ve always been able to continue with what I was doing, even when my initial reaction was to give up.
I needed to be reminded of this lesson today. I was minding my business, in a happy place, but over the course of a few hours I was knocked down.
The house I wanted, I don’t think I will be able to comfortably afford.
A guy I was interesting in, I’m realizing has a lot of BS with him.
The weight I was hoping to lose is still here.
I called my girlfriend, she prayed.
I talked to my work mentor and she reminded me how far I’ve come.
I talked to my kindred twin and she invited me to her house for a home cooked meal.
I touched my still-healing nose and remembered I can handle the pain and full healing will come….in time!
