Recovery Plan
Be patient and slowly rebuild. Do not risk re-injury by doing too much too fast! Walk a lot, then run a little. Notice a few small things first, then more later. Endurance, confidence in movement, the ability to convert oxygen into energy, the ability to convert unmixed attention into words while breathing and moving, decline rapidly during an extended injury.
