009 Kicking Chronic Pain – During Those Tough Weeks




Kicking Chronic Pain with Tim Vande Sluis show

Summary: It is many times very hard just dealing with the chronic pain that we have, but that is not always all we get. During the past week I have dealt with a great deal more than I had expected. I found that I had more pain then I could handle, and spent most of my time in and out of the hospital. It is remarkable to think that even with dealing with so much I have to deal with more. But that is okay, because I have the support of doctors, skilled physicians, the medical community, and I am able to get the support and help I need in times of duress. Foundational Healing Pyramid In the Foundational Healing Pyramid I place doctors and medicine and all those kind of things in External Helps which is the least important area of the Foundational Healing Pyramid. However, even it being in the smallest and least important area of the Foundational Healing Pyramid it is still extremely important, and that is why External Helps is there. Without the aid of doctors and medicine and the tests that are able to be run to determine what is wrong, our lives would be a lot worse. Doctors fill in a very very important role in our health and our longevity. I am so very grateful that during the last week I had the aid of doctors to help me. This podcast is really about my experience during the past week, what I experienced, and why I feel blessed to have the aid of doctors, the medical community, medicine and pain killers, and those that know a great deal more about these areas then I do. I am very thankful for them. I feel blessed that I do not have to have surgery, and that I could go home and heal and recover at home. In the Foundational Healing Pyramid our Psychology is most important. I could have had a lousy attitude and made everyone's life very miserable because of what I was going through, or I could have a good positive attitude even though I was in a great deal of pain. I chose to be positive and nice to those around me, so that they could treat me and help me. This in turn made my experience, although very painful and distressing, easier and more enjoyable.
