So I'm very lucky to, yeah, have a positive outlook on life and I always like to think that it can be worse off.

So just trying to remain grateful and, yeah, keep knuckling away.

Yeah, well, once you've done one, I think it's pretty easy to tell when you do another.

Um...

It's probably harder because what you love doing is taken away from you for a full 12 months and you just know that you're out for the next 12 months.

And initially there's that grief and you just break down.

I remember both times I just broke down in the change room, started crying straight away with mum and dad.

And then, yeah, sort of have my moment and then kind of get over it and you get to focus on what to do next and, yeah, just start the rehab process from there.

But, yeah, the first 48 hours, tough.

I'd say the first three months are even tougher as well, just not being able to do the basics in life, like walking, getting out of bed and trying to go to the toilet, stuff like that.

Absolutely.

I think the excitement is really building now.

I think I'm only two weeks away, which is, yeah, I'm just itching to get out there.

And we had a, you know, we have really good conversations at the club.

And after our Sydney loss, we were in the wings and we're speaking about, you know, mental mastery and all that sort of stuff.

And I just said, like, I'd kill to get beaten by 100 points.

I just can't wait to be out there.

to have the games, you know, in sight now.

Yeah, I'm just itching.

Can't wait to get out there and really excited.
