Well world, I tried. I underestimated how difficult things would be physically and emotionally out here while injured. Physically I am exhausted from trekking far distances on crutches and good lord my armpits are sore. Emotionally I am also exhausted. Being injured is already a difficult and new experience for me. I am fiercely independent and not being able to do things easily for myself has been extremely taxing. I’m having trouble accepting my injury and giving myself the time to heal. It’s especially hard out here where all I want to do is go hiking or kayaking or be out and about or just doing. Sitting still here is a very difficult thing. I’m frustrated with people who look at me with pity and so help me if I hear another What happened? Are you okay? I may have to knock out someone’s knees with this boot. I know that people are concerned, but also people are just nosy. What makes it even harder is the knowledge that were I a guy I wouldn’t get half so many pitying stares. Of course it’s hard, of course it hurts, but I’m okay. I am surviving and doing pretty damn well if you ask me. And another thing, I can get my own door! If I have another hand swoop in last minute to get the door for me I just may beat them with my crutch.

All in all, I have to do what is best for my health, physical and mental, and right now I know that that is coming home. I am beyond sad, I am heartbroken to be leaving, but there is no point in pushing myself through this experience if it will not grow from it. My recovery time is 8-10 weeks which is the majority of my time left here. I came here to explore, to grow, to be outside and see new things. Unfortunately, with this injury I am limited to work and quite literally my backyard. I have been so fortunate to have had the time that I had here. The past two months in the Tetons have truly been an experience of a lifetime and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. However, I know when I have been beaten. This is a small diversion, and I am glad to be coming home where I can heal and recuperate and maybe plan my next adventure. I will always be grateful for my time here, and I know that I will be back soon. The mountains have marked me, and to them I must return. We can’t choose what happens to us, but we can choose how to react and decide how to move forward. So here’s to forward motion on whatever path we forge.

Just this week and next week. Then break. Then the last preclinical semester of my career. Then Step 1. Then rotations. It's incredible to see how far I've come and how far I've yet to go. So much to learn. So much growth ahead.

Improvement!

We go through practice cases in groups with physician facilitators in order to prepare us for third year. Especially in the beginning of the semester, I felt lost and way behind my peers when it came to answering questions and recalling information. Lately, I have been able to contribute more. I feel so relieved. I know there's a long way to go, but I can finally see progress.
