Talked to my physical therapist

about how I've been feeling.  I'm so glad I did.  She told me that my injury was significant, so it would take months to recover and get back to more normal living.  After the doctor had said 4 weeks of therapy, I thought that was all.  And everyone else was telling me that "it could be worse" and how everyone had this, so I didn't think of it as a significant injury or months of getting better.  I'm glad Chris told me the reality, because now I know this is how it's supposed to be and I'm not overreacting.

I also have an appointment with the pain center on Monday and then a follow-up with the orthopedic.
