It was a beautiful early-spring day, March 4.
Fozzie Bear pug and I take an afternoon walk around our property and go down by the lake. Someone's innertube was caught in foliage that overhangs the water, and I wanted to bump it out and send it on its way.
Our shoreline is held up by large boulders and medium rocks.
I step onto a rock so I can reach the innertube to kick it, and the rock couldn't hold me......it slides into the water and I fell right on top of it with my butt.
As I lay in the water with half my body, I'm stunned of course, and the intense stinging sensation coming from my hind-end was like nothing i've ever experienced.
So I get up and climb out of the lake and tell Fozzie we need to hustle up to the house.
Up the stairs we go, about 100 steps to get into the house.
I strip off my wet clothing, ditch Fozzie with a raw bone.
In my bathroom I'm slathering on essential oils like Wintergreen, Lavender, Frankincense, and Clove as it's a natural numbing agent.
Then I carefully climbed into bed and laid under my color therapy light lamp with the Green color filter for 2 hours. Green is good for everything. When in doubt use green.
Then no lamp light for 2 hours.
Then I switched to the Purple color filter, as purple is for pain mitigation.
I continued to try and mitigate the inflammation with ice packs and my fav supplement, Serrapeptase.
A day and a half later, I'm in with Dr Amy the chiropractor.
She's amazing! We have the Master Cleanse in common! I mean WHAT??!!
The x-ray shows a bone break, where the sacrum meets the coccyx (tailbone).
The sacrum is bumped over to the left several inches.
The tailbone is bent under. (God made our tailbones to curve under a bit, and mine's now bent under even more.)
I had a slight concussion apparently from whiplash due to hitting the rock so hard.
Dr Amy says this is the worst issue she's seen in 21 years of chiropractic.
Not great at all. But the good news was that I could walk and I could poop.
Sitting in the car to drive short distances only, I have to use an appropriate butt pillow. It's great to be able to see over the steering wheel better! ha ha!
Dr Amy has incredible skills and confidence to re-align my sacrum with an adjustment that actually feels good. And she also rolls the top of my coccyx up to flip it back up into place. Then the bones will fuse back together.
So that's the chiropractor part, which is critical and she is the best partner I could have found.
She kept asking me if I was on the Master Cleanse yet. Each week I'd say 'no, but i'm going to soon'.
Twice in the first 4 weeks of the injury I bought 25 lemons to get started on the cleanse, and twice I changed my mind about cleansing.
Week 6 comes and I decide it's time. I buy the lemons and have a rough Day 1 of the cleanse but push through and ended up doing the Master Cleanse for 20 straight days!
My sore body felt SO MUCH better in just 4 days and by days 18, 19, 20, I had no pain at all. I lost 12 lbs of old waste, had great energy, fantastic sleep, which was important because I was not sleeping well the first few weeks.
I saw Dr Amy 3 times during my cleanse and she was of course super supportive. The inflammation was low and the adjustments were easier.
Being off the Master Cleanse and back to eating food, I do have pain again, so I'm using ice packs frequently and essential oils topically of course.
I'm drinking Comfrey tea and making Comfrey poultices by warming the dried leaves, and smearing them onto a wool flannel, then plastic-wrap it to my body. Comfrey is known as "knit bone" and will help speed up healing.
I laid on my balcony in the sunshine for Vitamin D.
I'm consuming anti-inflammatory supplements from Young Living as well as the oils in capsules several times per day.
The BEST new addition to my life and is definitely something GOOD that came out of this, is the Lifewave Patches! Acupuncture without needles, just a sticky patch that goes where the issue is or as directed in the product pamphlet.
And I thankfully have prayerful people in my life who have lovingly laid hands on me and prayed for total healing! Each time this is done, I feel tingling on my back, from head to toe. And then I always sleep better that night.
If you've had coaching from me or you've read parts of my blog, you maybe know that the first time I had a significant medical issue in 2010, it didn't go so well. I didn't have the information I truly needed and therefore made a big mistake.
I absolutely learned from that event and moved forward in my life making sure to do healthy things all the time. It got a whole lot easier when I discovered and became fluent in the super-simple Master Cleanse. I was no longer afraid of air pollution or pesticides, as the cleanse gets deep into tissues, organs and blood. (my teacher Tom assisted Wayne Dyer as he used the Master Cleanse to rid his body of Leukemia in under 20 days)
But what I did not have in 2010- prayerful people. No one in my life said they prayed for me, or urged me to seek Jesus.
Faith in Christ, and friends full of faith who are not afraid to use their voices have been paramount for my extremely positive mindset during this life trial.
Last but certainly not least, I cold plunged in the lake recently. Up to the neck for 28 seconds in 58 degree water. It was terrific.
