Why do we fall...?

So i have been seeing my physio since i wrecked my knee out and things have gone from good, to better, to awesome! My knee is getting stronger each day, exercises are getting easier to do, pain is less and Louise said to me the other day that she actually wanted me to go snowboarding... YES!!!
I was due to do just one run on the beginner slope to see how it faired, and by the time i had got down i was already back on the lift ready for another bash! The second run went well, found a little powder pocket to skim across and it felt incredible, like floating on pure magic. Since then i have been out on my lunch breaks riding and building my knee up, getting it stronger, and learning how to shield it in my ride style to not put any adverse pressure on it. The feeling of working hard at something, getting back to a point you were at previously until it was taken from you, gives such a sense of achievement. The rehabilitation process has been relatively short for me compared to some folks who take themselves out in all walks of life, but however it is done, to whomever, it takes something to get back on it and work hard to achieve your goals. I guess i really feel that this has taught me about that process of getting back on it, that taking these hits and set backs is part of the process. If you don't have it taken away from you, you can never appreciate the feeling of getting it back, and that feeling is priceless...
