Beloved,
I am feeling more hopeful about my knee and hip situation. I have feared the wheelchair as I could only see that in my near future. I know this goes against what my heart tells me and most importantly that my belief is that we create what we focus on. I just could not see or focus on freedom from pain in movement when every time I took a step; it hurt. So, of course, I focused on that. My mind would not listen to me as I tried to focus on health and freedom in my body. Patience. That is what I needed but when you are waiting for something, it feels like an eternity. I did not give up completely though and was open to new thoughts, ideas and therapy.
Physical therapy has changed so much in the last 10 years. It amazes me what they can do and the knowledge they now have. I started going after my regular doctor had no other suggestions for me after my last knee surgeon said I was not a good candidate for knee replacement.His last resort was to strengthen the muscles around my knee so it would hurt less. The reason I was so scared was that the other hip and back were painful now so there was not another leg I could stand on. They both hurt so I was even more confined to not doing my normal activities. The physical therapist had me doing some light exercises twice a day and visiting them twice a week. My son Bruce suggested I ask about taping. He had it done and it relieved a lot of his pain. So I asked them about taping and they did it on my sacroiliac and I was in complete shock that just putting tape on a spot would relieve so much of my pain. I started to sleep better and move around a lot more.
I am telling you this in case you are ignorant of taping. If you have any muscle pain or pain anywhere, I would suggest you consult a physical therapist for that treatment. I am still in awe of how much my pain was released. I have had a shorter leg for years and a friend referred me to a chiropractor she had used and he gave her a lift for her short leg and now she is even able to go for a walk. I took her advice, went to the chiropractor and he took X-rays and gave me a lift for my shoe. I am gradually weaning my body into that adjustment and that is also relieving some of the pain. I know that the bone on bone in my left knee is still there but it is being assisted by all these therapies. I now see a much longer future ahead of me where I can do more of the activities that I used to do. If you have any fears or situations that cause fear. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP.
There was a full moon this week, did you feel it? The world did and reacted accordingly. Your happiness depends only on you. Be like a child again.

With all the drama going on during this election process, I think this article gives a good explanation of how you can handle all of it by honoring yourself, your point of view and especially with no drama leaving yourself feeling good and peaceful.

If one 12 year old child can do this, she is quite the leader and example for all of us. She could not have done this alone, she needed her parents and also volunteers but it all began with her. Out of the mouths (hearts) of babes.
I found this video to be quite enlightening and informative on what is actually happening on our planet and in our world. The President AND the People with David Muir.

A new word in our vocabulary but what an explanation and what a result. Flip the script in your life.
