It's been a while since my last blog. But life has taken a rather exhausting route over the last few months. My husband put his back out in August after lifting a role of lead. It started out as just a twinge of pain here and there, a reminder that he'd lifted something heavy. We just thought with a bit of massage, a heat wrap and a trip to the Chiropractor the pain would eventually ease and he'd be back to normal within a few weeks. We had no idea that after 10 weeks off sick, two trips to A&E and enough medication to start up a pharmacy, we would be waiting for him to go in for operation in a few days time.
But its got me thinking about how fragile our lives really are and how quickly everything can change. Even though his back pain isn't life threatening, he doesn't have a terminal illness and after the operation he should be up and about fairly quickly, we have both been on an emotional roller coaster for the last 10 weeks which has left us both physically and emotionally exhausted. Thankfully we can see that end is in sight and we are both hugely relieved that it will soon all be over and he will be back to his normal self.
It's really brought it home to me how important all those things I teach my clients are to help them through those times in our lives when we struggle to cope. We've both been listening to my hypnotherapy CD at night-times and he's still been cracking jokes and keeping us both positive and laughing through it all.
