Dear Yogis,
Missed Friday – so I hope you are all answering emails over breakfast.
Well it had to happen, I have been forcibly slowed down.
Remember in December I tripped on my washing pole, came down a hard thump on one knee. That cleared up beautifully after about a week, but with the cold weather I am suffering, and thought I would go see the doc “just in case”. They’re terrific, BUT they want to load me with chemicals – I can say “NO”. The last thing I want is to become a slave to the medical system at this stage in my life.
At Campaspe Health and the hospital they did every test possible (not yet finished) and now I know what the problem is. they found I had a raging kidney infection (no symptoms), and no guessing – also Bursitis with some osteoarthritis. Is it painful – however good old disprin for the osteo, medication for the kidneys, paying attention to diet, and taking herbs when required. Thats what comes first. I have to learn and adjust. Thank goodness, thank yoga and thank Reiki self help, I sleep like a log.
I am thankful we have such a wonderful hospital, and I could have all the tests and all of them bulk billed, AND, (listen up people) once you reach age 72 the government offers a YEARLY free total health check. They say it takes an hour but really, it takes HOURS. but it is free. Please check with your doctor and get this done if you are a senior teacher..
I will soon be able to get back to bicycling every day – I do yoga even if seated sometimes, and feel quiet enough to do more meditation.
Because the practice is so compatible with yoga and massage I am a REKI MASTER – years ago I did each of the levels, and If you want to know what I do, deal with pain and stiffness, relax, and get good nights sleep, you can come for a session encompassing lymph massage, reiki and sound therapy. Email me for a booking. yogafirst2@bigpond.com.
