Karma

I have a stubborn patient who only understands self-destructive ways of becoming stronger. Though there are so many words I would like to say to him, they will not come.

I've regretted being deaf. I don't want to regret being mute. Regret, after a certain amount of time, takes physical form.

I hope that this person will hear me before their recovery ends. Or there might be no end to it.

And in your post, by self-destructive you meant... overworking?

Overworking. Aggravating injury. Ignoring medical advice.

Does this sound familiar to you, by any chance?

Guilty~
I've suffered from patellar tendinitis since high school. I went through all non surgical treatment possible then but In college I became pro and the intense training - plus I'm known for overworking - made it worse. I ended up benched most tournament one year and my coach said I had to make a decision. I left volley for almost 2 years for surgery and recovery about 4 year ago.

I'm glad you were able to recover. You had better keep up with physical therapy, Oikawa-kun.

It took a long time. I still use support and I'm always a little worried about it. I think my career won't last as long as I wish it would. I

Perhaps, perhaps not. Take good care of your body and the rest is out of your control.
