Yesterday I went kayaking with a friend who was doing the first launch of his kayak. His goal is to be independent with kayaking (launching, transferring, & recovery). We learned a lot throughout the day. He will get to that independence eventually. It was a good reminder to me that no matter how long ago we were injured and how much function we have regained, each time we do something new, we need to be patient with ourselves as we develop the skills for that new activity.
