Dear Diary 
I have been here for almost a year and have rarely heard from my father or any of my friends back home. I guess this is really home now.
My physical therapy is just about finished. I have been told I am better than the average 22 year old but not quite as good as a professional anymore. They say they are not sure if I will ever reach any level of professionalism again.
I feel completely crushed and ecstatic at the same time over this news.
Well it's time for tea.
