The Day "I'm Done For!" Changed to "I Can Still Move!💕"
"You've improved quite a bit, so let's swap out your walker, shall we?"
It doesn't fit your body anymore😅 A good change💕
Today, the welfare equipment person brought a few for me to try❣️
Since it's a rental, it's fine to keep swapping them out, you know?😳
The welfare equipment person said,
"Wait? Is this height okay? It's the type used by tall men."
Yes☺️✨ It's fine.
My standard for eye level is not to push the walker while walking✨
When you're alone, safety comes first!
But the next step is to be able to walk without using the walker at all🥰
Don't push it while you walk! Pull it behind you as you walk!
Yes, exactly❣️ That feels good✨
"Doctor, I'm done for🥲 My body is so exhausted."
That's a common phrase for this person.
"Hmm? Where and how is it exhausted?"
There isn't really a 'where'😅
"It's all in your head! It's all in your head! You're fine❣️ You're getting better! Have some confidence!"
"Let's change our catchphrase to 'Ah, I've gotten better❣️ I can still move!'😆"
While I try to make them believe that, habits of thought disappear all at once when you show them the visual evidence☺️✨
"Look! This is how you were before, remember? Can you see how much you've improved? Let's work hard so you can walk briskly without the walker next time☺️✨"
"Doctor, the path ahead has suddenly become so bright🥹 I'm truly grateful for this connection with you."
This person had a complex fracture in their left leg from a traffic accident and had 3 surgeries🦵
They've started putting quite a bit of weight on their left leg now✨
Seeing the comparison like this makes me feel motivated too🤩✨
After work, I got an emergency call from a client for the weekend☎️
They fell on their bottom, hurt their lower back, and can't move😅
Emergency dispatch after work~🤩
It's only been 2 hours since the fall.
I didn't realize the body stiffens up this much right after an injury😳
When the body experiences an impact, it immediately goes into defense mode😳
That's why even just a fall on your bottom can cause the whole body to stiffen up completely.
It doesn't seem to be a fracture☺️
Your body was just shocked~
I'll align the distortions, add some breathing, and slowly bring back a sense of safety✨
Some lingering pain is unavoidable for a few days🙂↕️
Alright! I'll come back this weekend❤️
They seemed relieved after I took a look at them☺️💕
I was given some peas🫛 Tomorrow is pea rice~🤩
On the drive home, I felt it deeply.
The body is a mysterious thing.
"Maybe I'm done for."
People who thought that way, little by little, just a tiny bit at a time, start to see the world differently.
The height of the walker changing, weight being placed on the left leg, the phrase "I can still move!" being used more often—
these are all small "signs of hope" from the body.
I think people change not just through pain, but also through feeling safe🙂↕️
Healing might not be about some special magic, but about accumulating "maybe I'll be okay" together☺️✨
The body learns "I can't do it" quickly, but it also possesses the power to remember "I can still do it"💓
The hands that were pushing the walker start to face forward little by little.
The left leg that couldn't bear weight is starting to be used by the body again.
Rather than "curing," it might be the process of the body learning to believe in itself once again☺️✨
Today was another day where "I'm done for" changed into "Ah, I can still move❣️"🥰
