Three years ago I went outside to check that my spigots were covered before a pending storm was to descend over Nashville, TN. I slipped on black ice, wedged my running shoe between two pavers, and heard my ankle snap. I had never broken a bone, but I immediately knew the pain was unlike anything I had ever experienced. I screamed so loud my neighbor came over to help me crawl inside. That night the city was covered with 6" of snow and if you know anything about living in the southeast, that much snow equals paralysis! It was six days before I could get to the doctor's office for them to declare fractures on both sides of my ankle joint and for surgery to be recommended. Now, the x-ray of my ankle looks a lot like a fence post someone screwed a bunch of screws into through a metal plate! Before I went into surgery, I went into deep research mode to put together my “Ankle Healing Protocol”. I committed to doing whatever it took to restore full function to my ankle. I was about to turn 50 years old and hadn't lived an active, healthy life thus far just to trigger a cascade effect that would make me feel a lot older than I was. I'm happy to report that I was jogging again in 3 months and can do all my regular yoga poses as I could before surgery. I have since shared this “Protocol” with multiple other people who had similar surgeries and they experienced similar results. Take and apply whatever resonates with you and leave the rest! And as always, use your judgment. Consult your doctor as I am a middle-aged woman trying to lead a happy, healthy life, not a doctor or a physical therapist!

We had our first eczema baby 2 years ago and let me tell me the $ we spent trying to find what works, is insane. Under age 2, doctors cannot prescribe anything that's not a steriod. We had to do our own research and trial and error EVERYTHING. With many having eczema, you know it's frustrating and it's hard to tell what works and if it does, maybe later or doesn't. It's Frustrating. I put together a few things that lasted us more than 1 purchase to see if it helps anyone.
In addition to therapy and psychiatry which I do recommend, here are some coping mechanisms and tools I personally use to help take care of myself the best I can. Remember that progress is often not linear, and a bad day or even long rough patch doesn't negate all of the achievements you've made. You can still be on an upward trend even with those dips. Only expect that you do your best each day- you can't expect more than your best from yourself, and your best can vary dramatically day to day. If your best today was getting out of bed and eating food, but you did it, that's a win. Much love to all of you out there, and I hope these recommendations help. <3
