Sending a "greetings selfie" to Lucca all the way in Tasmania, Australia! x)
This morning before going to sleep around 4 a.m. I decided not to put comfrey on that night (which is only like the 2nd time I don't use comfrey since the cast came off).
Taking the wrap off so I could sleep with crystals directly around my ankle instead for the first time! (Which felt great to wake up with the next morning!)
I was doing lots of stretching and swinging my arms and torso around on my bed, while practicing breathing and bending my back, laying and rolling around, sliding around, off the bed, into headstands and handstands and regaining my ease to do the bridge! All super intentionally gently and carefully of course!
I have been getting more and more use to placing my foot on the floor without it hurting, whether standing or sitting, and stretching my hips and legs in that position, though usually have to lean on my left almost completely... when I randomly decided to try to putting some extra pressure on my foot to see how it was healing. To my surprise it didn't hurt at all when I leaned on it normally as I would stand on both feet!
Of course I didn't just drop all my weight on it, but gradually and slowly kept adding more and more pressure on it as I slowly let go with my hands until I wasn't holding on to anything, and standing perfectly still and straight!
I barely stood for maybe 20-30 seconds, and managed to do it twice! (I REALLY don't want to over do it by accident, so I'm taking it slow and feeling it out more each day!)
I stood once with my legs pretty wide apart, and afterwards with my feet slightly wider than shoulder width distance. I'm so happy and got extremely excited in the moment! Especially as that was the first time since before the surgery that I have been able to stand like that again! <3
I thought it was very interesting that my first time standing again, even though it was brief, it happened at exactly 4:20 a.m.! Especially since in the beginning right after my surgery, as well as before and after Lucca left, I had been telling him how almost every time I looked at the time it was 4:20... (O_o)
I've been taking pictures pretty much every single day of as much as I felt inspired, especially since I was reminded that would be a good idea! Which worked out great for the incoming super healing gif(t)s! That way I don't have to post 60 pictures in one post either haha.
Starting off with this amazingly divine SUPER HEALING poultice! Since my previous turmeric mix ran out, and my mom didn't like the excessive yellowness that poured out from the turmeric, I decided to just add a little bit of curry to my mix instead! :)
A few days later my sister got a clay powder made of 'pink kaolin - illite clay', and 'Rhassoul (Moroccan lava) clay' which sounded like some great quality earth! While I was also considering adding some pearl powder I had from before too.. and decided to add all 3 mixed in with some more essential oils! (Pine, cedar wood, cypress, and helichrysum oils!) As well as more wild harvest comfrey tincture! And most importantly, lots of LOVE!! <3
It feels SOOOOOOO GOOD every time I apply it, pretty instantly making a big difference! I think it's also made a humongous difference in the way my scars have been healing as from most surgical scars I've seen they always leave a big rough bumpy lump of hard tense scar tissue! While mine are turning out extreeeeemely smooth and soft! :)
It can get quite messy! Hehe.
I even tried out my old "boot" foot/ankle wrap that I got the first time I saw the doctor about my ancient injury about a year and a half ago...
It turned out to be a lot harder to put on since my flexibility isn't back yet, and super tight, with no room for the comfrey wraps... so I haven't worn it again since that day, but it was relatively comfortable while I had it on! (The only other day I didn't use comfrey for as long as today.)
This is what I sleep with underneath my pillow every night! Though I usually always take about half of them, all the smaller pieces, and place them in my boot around my ankle and leg over night! <3
This crystal pillow is amazing for resting better and especially dreaming more and more vividly and lucidly every night!! <3
I will also add a picture from today for comparison with the daily pics from the gifs!
Super speedy healing like the gif! Hehe!
What it looks like today!
This one is definitely healing the fastest, as it's nothing compared to the other two!
So interesting to feel exactly where the pathway this arthroscopic camera went through in order to get into my ankle joint as I'm rehabilitating my ankles movement and strength!!
Thanks to the comfrey this one has actually debatably healed faster than the button sized hole!!! As it stopped bothering me entirely a while ago and amazingly feels as if nothing ever even happened there! O:
And what it looks like today! Super smooth, healing divinely as the doctor (and I felt,) said and knew it would! :)
