Being Humbled (not by choice)
09/06/08 16:57
It has happened the past three years in the spring. I
am overworking, eating poorly, beginning to have a
glass of wine in the evening to slow
down.........seems harmless enough. But my body
screams "NO!" And if I ignore it, it shuts down. Last
year my sacrum went out and I fell to my back in the
middle of the street, unable to get up. This past
Saturday it happened during just as I finished
teaching a yoga class. My legs collapsed unexpectedly
and my husband had to come to work and carry me out.
I have been on my back for 3 days with little relief
from a chiropractic adjustment. My sacrum is twisted
and my spine in a serious "S" curve. Students and
loved ones are calling to keep me company and tell me
to slow down. I think after having this happen a
third year in a row, maybe it is time to listen to my
mind, body and loved ones. So I will lie here a few
more days in recovery and think about what it means
to slow down- once again. Hopefully I will learn
something this time so I do not have to repeat it
next year!
