It happened during the pandemic lockdowns.
My clinic was open, but the environment was stressful.
Patients were understandably worried,
masks and protocols had to be followed.
The clinic landlord at the time was an HR nightmare.
Kids were doing school at home, my son included
Stores ran out of stuff all the time.
Fear was palpable everywhere,
As it had been for months.
It was the end of a long shift.
As I headed to my car,
I tripped over a parking block.
Who does that? Who trips over a parking block in their own parking lot? Geeze.
I was sprawled out on the ground,
foot throbbing, left hand felt broken
like my fingers bent backwards catching my fall
I went back into the office, gave myself a treatment, even took a couple days off,
and continued treatment at home.
It took longer to heal because my body
was heavily stressed and depleted
before the fall.
I needed to calm my nervous system,
support my adrenals and digestion
so there was energy and nutrients
to send to my injured hand and foot.
Our capacity to heal is significantly reduced
when we’re low on core resources.
