I decided to blog again....and this
time folks, it's about me. Last year, I was injured on
property....was on my feet 8 hours, running myself crazy trying to
help the tree service personnel who needed a foreman that day, due to
their boss being called away on urgent business. That injury was to
my feet....I guess your arches can fall in a day! I wanted to get
some help with the pain, as it was increasing to unbearable levels by
Autumn, and it had happened in the Spring. I knew that I did not want
surgery and drugs, but what were my alternatives? I did not know what
was up; was it arthritis? God knows I have had my share of car wrecks
and clumsy mishaps.
Finally, I found the Miracle Man, Dr.
Zac Leslie at Willow Creek Chiropractic in Palestine! I was so
blessed from the first day of thorough exams and testing. I gazed at
his degrees in clinical nutrition, exercise physiology, seminary and
yes, chiropractic. His methodology was smooth and streamlined. The
office offers exercise therapy, exercise guidance and quality
supplements as well. This doctor lives what he preaches! So rare. Dr,
Zac is a humble man, and encourages his patients to take
responsibility for own their health. Showing me how to get a great
night's sleep, the importance of proper hydration, adequate
nourishment and which supplements are right for each patient.
Well, guess what? I had really been
making excellent progress, with my new orthotics and feeling so good
about that, and then on the evening of February 28th, I
slipped and fell upon a deep hole dug by my dear Hunny Bear, our beloved golden retriever. I despaired! The agony! My left knee took
the impact, bruising to the bone...ack! The pain! Yet, I knew that Dr.
Zac could help me get myself back to healthy mobility. More than ever before,
I realize the importance of keeping the body toned and limber as we
age. So, here it is just 2 weeks later, and even though the hospital
said to give it a month or more in the wheelchair, I am slowly
walking on my own...with good posture, too, mind you!
I highly recommend a book that Dr. Zac
gave me, called “Chiropractic First”. Before invasive drugs, or cut
and burn,FIRST adjust the nerve center of the body, learn proper
posture, develop healthy breathing patterns, hydrate wisely, nourish
your cells with whole plant foods, and stay in a rhythm of
restful sleep, retiring and rising on a schedule. No matter what is
going on in your life, take time to exercise! Prepare instead of
repair, and when you must repair, search out the best chiropractic
care that you can afford. There are no shortcuts! No matter what Big
Pharma and Carnation Instant Breakfast ads tell you! Until next time!
