I think the hardest thing about rehab was that it was really monotonous, and that it wasnât really exciting necessarily. Â I was an athlete before and I loved sports, and I always tried to compare rehab to sports and think of therapy as practice. Â But, the hard thing about it was that there was no playoff or championship, then a season, and then a lull, and then you up start again. Â It was just always the same, every day, every week, and you have to get up and do the same thing. Â But, you donât have this big thing youâre working towards. Â So, one way that I tried to deal with that was setting specific goals, or time myself a lot doing things and try to see if I could get the time down to make it a little bit more competitive. Â But, just the monotony and the lack of excitement was really wearing. Â My dad would say, âItâs a marathon, not a sprint,â and I was never a patient person, so that was definitely the most challenging part. Â Every day, every week, you get up and do the same thing.
