Accidents happen and can be very serious but if treated immediately can be reduced to a minor inconvenience.
I accidentally stepped on a fallen crabapple in our driveway and as it started to roll under my foot it threw me off balance and I fell sideways onto my extended right hand and knee. So much for my walk! Julie ushered me back into the house to dress my wounds. It was extremely painful trying to wash my hand but I managed as best I could.
My arthritic blend for my knees was handy so I massaged it into my hand and wrist immediately. Julie applied bandaids to cover the broken skin on my wrist and knee, putting a drop of lavender in jojoba on each one first. My hand was already swollen and painful when I applied the ice pack. I couldn’t put any pressure on my wrist and I was thinking I wouldn’t be able to do any pushups for at least two weeks while Julie was concerned I may have broken it. To my utter amazement within a half hour the pain and swelling were gone. It is now the next day and there is no bruising. I just tried out my countertop pushups and there is no problem putting pressure on my wrist. Want to know what was in that magical blend that helped me heal so quickly?
