BeforeAfter
Emotionally, it was loneliness. I mean sitting at home months upon months by yourself there. There's no connection and having problems with a sibling that really drove me down to a dark hole. The loss of my beloved animals, my horses, and my mom within a two-year span has really taken a toll on me. I didn't realize how much it did and I didn't realize how much help I really needed.I come here and the loneliness subsided. I was part of an awesome group of people from the people that I went through the program with to everybody with the staff and management. It was just and it's an eye-opener and it's good to be feeling good again, both physically and mentally. I've been able to work through my grief and it's taken a big load off my heart and I've gone through that. I've got some building blocks as to how to deal with my siblings.
Brain fog and lack of energyI found out that the lack of energy was due to a mental block stopping me. I just thought it was a physical thing, but it was more emotional. We worked with that and cleared that up, relieved the weight off my shoulders.
The same with the brain fog, it was just more of the mental aspect.
I felt disconnection from my new horse, because I wasn’t right for him, and he sensed that. If I got into a situation riding my horse, I would hold my breath, and that just transferred into anxiety or whatever you want to call it. And he would pick that up so quickly. We didn't go for leisure rides.I feel now that I am right for him and our connection will be strong once I get back home. I've been shown how to breathe properly and how it helps with pain and so many other things. It’s a world changer, once you know how to do it.
Physically, I couldn't even lift my legs up to get in the stairs. I used to have to use handrails.My whole body is more flexible now. Now it's not a problem walking downstairs. I'm not needing the handrails anymore.
Poor body balance.Balance has improved immensely. I can turn my head and look over my shoulders now look behind me where before I couldn't.
Frozen Shoulder and Hip Pain. During sleep, I was tossing and moving around because there was shoulder pain and I kept moving that flop from side to side. I would doze off and then all of a sudden the pain would come in the shoulder or in the hip, and I needed to readjust.Shoulder pain's almost non-existent and same with the hip, both 75 %, which is way better than 45%.
Decreased hand flexibility due to a scar. I was booked for an operation and I still have booked for the operation in December and they're going to cut my hand over because my tendons are all shrinking. It's calcified, like arthritis. It started after 50 years of driving truck, taking its toll. The doctors cleaned that up and then it would come back plus was developing on the other hand.With the help of one of the practitioners; with reflexology and laser and exercise we were able to subside from 5 out of 10 to 3. So I still will go get surgery but it won't be cutting my whole hand, they'll only will cut two. So I would say the mobility in the hand have gone from 40 % when I got here to 75 % when I leave. It's very good. We've got things moving and my hands are feeling better.
The one finger used to stick and then every time you go to put your hand in the pocket, the finger would stick out.Now it's coming back in a little bit and this one here, there was a Ridge that used to go all the way down the palm. Well, it's only coming down halfway now, so it's it's good. The girls did a fabulous job to start and now I just got to keep doing what they taught me.
Weight gain. I was not getting up and getting around. I was gaining weight for no reason other than the lack of taking care of myself.I lost 12 pounds. I was two-twenty-six when I got in here and two-fourteen now.
