Week 4
It has been my goal to get rid of the walker as soon as possible. I have intentionally focused on engaging my back and leg muscles to work together in order to build up strength and mobility. As I continued to listen to my body, my confidence increased. I decided I could manage to walk around a short block without my walker. The work of healing is tiring, but each day I feel stronger! My body always knows best.
Week 3
My husband and I are on our own beginning this week. The idea of going it alone is a bit daunting, but thank goodness for great friends! While my husband keeps his work commitments, the support of friends has been invaluable! I have discovered that it is just not possible to do everything I would like to do with a walker. I am focusing on the progress and not on the frustrations.
As the days progress, I am able to take fewer pain pills. This has allowed me to expand the time and focus I spend on my healing prayers and meditation. The daily meditation has begun to help me to get back to feeling like my old self!
I have also increased my physical activities. I took a ride in the car, and I went out to dinner for the first time in three weeks! This was a tiring, but excellent challenge for my body.
With a now clearer head, I have begun reading the series of 9 Anastasia books, “The Ringing Cedars of Russia” (see the Resource Links page for more information). These books are wonderful novels that take place in the present time, they are easy to read, and they have a wealth of spiritual information. At this important time of growth in my life, I find these books to be a perfect fit. A healing crisis is not necessary in order to benefit from these books, however. Anyone can grow and learn from reading these books!
Another pretty picture… an unprecedented rate of healing!
In my practice, I have known this to be true, but today I was able to experience it for myself: A well devised combination of Holistic Health Care and Medical diagnostics achieve results in a short period of time.
Today I had a visit to the doctor’s office for another x-ray. The MD was surprised with the results of the image. He said, “This is highly unusual, but the x-ray already shows early bone growth.” My husband and I just smiled. I would have expected nothing less! Tremendous healing power was happening because of my Holistic Healing approach!
My personal Physical Therapist had to return home. Her assistance through the week was invaluable. The thought of being without extra help was a little distressing for me and my husband, but we didn’t have to face that inevitability just yet. We were blessed with our oldest daughter coming to assist us for another week. My husband and I were so grateful for the extra help!
My daughter was wonderful with her encouragement, nudging me along to expand my walking and moving. I made sure to stay attuned to my body in order to feel how far to push myself. Keeping a patient and persistent mind allowed my body to recuperate at the speed it needed.
After consulting with my nutrition mentors, I re-evaluated my current supplement routine. Today I started my “Bone Healing” smoothie. It is a great lunch and a great way to expedite the bone healing process!
Recipe for “Bone Healing Smoothie”:
Biotics: Rice Protein Powder, 1-2 scoops
Rice Milk Enriched, 1 cup, can add more to change the consistency
Greek Yogurt 0% fat, ½ cup
Cottage Cheese, Organic, Low fat, ½ cup
Flaxseed meal, 1 teaspoon
Fresh or Frozen berries, 1 cup
Standard Process: Calcium Lactate Power, 2 teaspoons
To my daily supplement routine, I added:
- Standard Process Biost (Calcium for healing bone)
- Ligaplex ll (for muscle repair)
- Biotics Bio C+ 1000 (for tissue repair and carrying calcium to the bone level)
- ADHS (for Adrenal support from the trauma)
- 21st Century Homeopathic Biotics Lymphatic Drainage (for toxin removal and movement of lymph while being on restricted activity).
TO ORDER:
Biotics may be ordered on my web store, www.getbiotics.com
The features of the web store will not be available until you click the "Log In" link and enter password: DFILC622
Standard Process products may be ordered through my office for pick up or drop ship.
I look forward to my daily smoothie, and I find myself even craving it!
As I began to focus on my recuperation, I took great comfort in my family, friends and clients sending healing thoughts, prayers and Reiki.
I also found comfort, as I began listening to a new CD. The recording, “Body Field Sound Healing,” is the first of its kind (find more about this CD on the Resource Links page). It is encoded with information designed to enhance well-being. Listening to this CD helped me cope and adjust to my new situation, and it took on a significant role in my healing process. A strong, healthy mindset would help me to work on regaining a strong, healthy body!
Lying in the backseat of the car again, I was reminded of my trip to the ER only three days before. Thankfully, the pain was numbed with medication for this trip. My spirits were lifting because today I could finally start expanding the Holistic Care I longed for in the hospital!
My daughter, a physical therapist, greeted my husband I at home. It was such a relief to think that she would stay for a week to help us get acclimated to a new way of doing things. She was so helpful and caring. Her expertise in arranging the set-up of the household made my mobility much easier. I realized a week with my own personal physical therapist was an immeasurable luxury!
