I laid still for a moment and thought: "This really hurts and I wonder if I can get up."
I rocked back and forth to gain moment and used the old power-up-the-legs trick and got to my feet. Now what I noticed was that I could stand relatively straight except I was bent to the left. When I even thought about moving to the right I had a sharp pain in my left kidney area, and I thought that I had blown my left kidney to tiny pieces.
There were a number of people around and you know what you do when you trip in public: "Oh, I'm okay. I'm a little bruised but I'm really okay." It's embarrassing but I had no shame.
My son put his arm around me just to check in and I said I'd be alright. As the day continued I didn't feel too bad except when I moved to the right. Pain seared into my exploded left kidney. Now I don't know how long it takes for blood to collect in the urine but I checked regularly and didn't notice any the rest of the day.
That evening I had my wife go to my office and get my cold laser and I began lasering myself an hour at a time, directly over my left kidney. That night was a fairly miserable night trying to sleep.
The next day I was still in pain, again, when I moved to the right side. I kept up lasering and added a barrage of nutritional supplements, and I also began clearing myself with a chiropractic technique I just had learned. I moved stiff and guarded.
The next day I went to my office and someone thought I'd better X-ray myself. I did and that's when I discovered two broken pieces of vertebrae near my left kidney.
That was it. I cancelled the next few days, took my laser and a few more bottles of nutrition with me and went home. I began a course of taking care of myself; lasering and nutritional supplements to fuse the bone tissue for 4-6 hours a day.
By Friday, 6 days later, I went back to work a full day. Little pain but not too bad. I was in rapid healing and continued the protocol I had begun. Now, one month later, I have full range of motion and don't even realize I had a problem. There never was blood in the kidney so I don't think it exploded. It was fun to say it was though.
The point: take care of yourself now because you never know what and when something will happen to you.
Three ways to deal with physical stress:
1.Make sure your body is in good muscular shape. Do you exercise regularly? Better start.
2.Make sure you tissues have a good supply of nutrients. Are you eating as good as you could and do you ingest whole food supplements?
3.Make sure you can develop an appropriate healing attitude. How's yours?
Stress will come at you, no doubt about it. Have you prepared yourself for it? What will you do when it becomes too great? This lesson from falling off the truck is all about doing the things now so when the stress hits you may have a fighting chance to get through it.
Ways To Reduce Belly
Get Help Moving
By "help moving" we don't mean your brother-in-law or that body-building friend from work. More people often hinder the move as everyone gets in the way. One truck can be loaded best by two people, maybe three if well-coordinated.
Hiring movers means your relocation will proceed more quickly. Loading boxes may not seem like much of a skill until you see professional movers do it. A good team can have you loaded in a fraction of the time you can do it yourself.
Stick with the big moving companies, not the "two guys with a truck and a six-pack" crowd in the classifieds. Although you may find a gem in the latter group, it's better to go with an experienced and insured organization.
Moving companies offer packing service which can be a mixed blessing. The biggest drawback is that you don't reduce clutter. It's amazing how many things that you've owned for years just aren't worth sticking in a box. By self-packing, a lot of the clutter ends up in the charity bin or the trash bin.
For Long Moves Use an Auto Transport Service
While looking for home movers, also consider car shipping.
An auto transport service will load your car onto a truck and ship it anywhere you might be bound. You don't have the stress of a cross-country drive. Instead you take a leisurely plane ride to your destination and everything is waiting for you when you arrive.
Stick with an auto transport company that provides door-to-door service rather than terminal service. Terminal service means your car is picked up then languishes in a storage yard until a truck is found heading in the right direction. During this time you have no use of the vehicle and no idea when it will arrive. Door-to-door service means the car is out of your hands for a shorter time.
Take a Vacation During the Move
Using movers and auto transport means your time is free to handle other details of the move like getting utilities hooked up and exploring your new neighborhood. There is no end to all the tasks associated with relocation.
If you are moving far away, there will be a gap of a couple of days between your rapid arrival by plane and your furniture and car's arrival by truck. Use this opportunity to check into a hotel and treat your family to an unexpected break.
Of course, these steps are going to make the move a bit more expensive than doing it all yourself. However your time is valuable. If you look at the hours you save, not to mention the gray hairs you avoid, you'll find it's well worth the price.
