Ronnie Turiaf, a french basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers, discusses his recovery from the open heart surgery operation, he recently endured. ""Pretty much my recovery process was very difficult. At first, I would start by dribbling up and down the court probably one down back. Down and back for one time and I would get dizzy. The next day, I will try to push my self and beat my self. The next day I’ll be too down and bad. And I think every one day after that I started getting better and I think it was all pretty neat process because I’m all the people around me that they love me and they care about me on a bigger way bigger than the basketball court. They care about the person they monitor of course. And I think being surrounded by these people and being in the college once again helped me. I mean I was in college I was having life I didn’t have school waiting anything to do but recovery. So I think I came alive.""
