Most of the time, I share stories of overcoming difficult moments and trying times. I don't really share what has happened in my life apart from the hard moments. So, let me show you what living within the boundaries of this body looks like. Nope, I can't do everything all the time. That said, I sure as hell do everything I can!
The following are pics of what can be done around Pain.

The swelling has finally gone down - whew that feels better. I'm in a fortunate situation where my body does what I need it to do - but I must nurture it when the need switches over to rest instead of excitement. There were a lot of things I wanted to do but I needed to heal. No more arguments! My mind will sit willingly. My thoughts will be offering gratitude for everything I was allowed to do.
I used to look at these days as, "OH, I'm paying for it now!"
Na, I'm smart - I'm patient - I'm being kind to myself.
This is an ability - not a cost.

We are capable of loving life. Tell yourself something new. If you are feeling pain - feel the pain with your body ... not your thoughts. Body pain ebbs and flows - thoughts are habitual.
Look into how your brain processes pain - months to a year after injury - your brain will show pain lighting up in regions associated with MEMORY not pain PROCESSING regions.

After writing Pain and Awakening, there was a desire to reach out to others. I couldn't be the only one going through the muck. So many people are suffering pain, illness, tribulation, and fear.
Come in and sit down if you are weary from an exhausting road. I cannot promise you solutions. But I can promise with gentle non-judgment I will hold a safe space where you will be seen and heard.

Gentle reminder -
Doctor's are not God's

Medical assistance is a financial transaction.

Doctors are the equivalent of a mechanic for your automobile (body). Remember that it is yours.

Take all of the info - study it yourself responsibly. When the mechanic starts demanding to attend parts that aren't broken, it's okay to tell them NO. When they start peddling goods that your car doesn't need. It's okay to tell them NO. This can only be recognized if YOU study your body and diagnosis.

You are a 15 minute slot in their schedule. You are a paid procedure.

Therefore, take as much responsibility as you can! Learn your conditions. Learn what your tests mean.
Study your car and then go back to the mechanic with informed questions and better understanding.

The example of Doctor to mechanic is not to belittle their career. It's to help empower all of you to recognize that your body is yours and the decisions should always be yours!
If you are intimidated by your doctor - it might be because you think they are more powerful than you. They are simply in control of whatever is in the back of the garage - thats it!
There are always other mechanics.

Good luck to all of you with whatever you are facing.
Please learn about yourselves.
Please avoid dangerous situations.
Please remain kind and respectful - especially to your own body. Treat it like an old friend 🧡 It is repairing itself constantly, trying to keep up with your demands with the energy you give it. Be patient and kind to the only body (Car) you have.

❤️ and 🫂 to all of you, always!
