I've gotten pretty good at hurting myself in comical, bizarre ways.
This past week has been some-what of a doozy.
Saturday after saving two infant otters from drowning I was accosted by a brown bear...
Okay, that's what I thought of telling people...
Actually, Saturday I held my hands above my head and braided two rows down my head. {Yes braiding my hair.} I felt a sharp pain and was abnormally uncomfortable--but I kept going. As the day went on the pain just got worse and worse. And by Monday I thought I'd morphed into someone else's body. I couldn't imagine where this crazy pain was coming from.
By one o' clock I was in the Doctor's office, courtesy of being a Doctor's wife's friend. :)
Long story-short, I had a pinched a nerve in my neck and popped a rib out of place.
Ouch.
I came home attempted to be some-what of a mom and went outside with my 2 year old, Little Miss.
There I turned... not sharply, not strangely, just wrong. And my knee cap dislocated. So, rib out, neck pinched and I went down to the ground--hard.
Double-Ouch.
Needless to say I fell apart--body and emotions.
{my poor children!}
But really this post isn't about having all of you say:
O you poor thing.
{Thank you in advance-btw.}
But more to say- Listen to you body!
That first braid did not feel right and yet I kept going. I could have saved myself a whole lot of grief if only I'd listened to myself!
Our bodies are amazing, they can do and recover from so much. But that doesn't mean we should abuse them.
Love your body! It's the only one you've got!
