No, not my wedding anniversary. 1 year ago I was at Kerlan Jobe undergoing an ACL repair to my left knee. I was reading a magazine yesterday entitled, "Experience Life". There was an article discussing how to be an active participant in your health care. And ... that I was!
My surgeon, Dr. Gambardella, was very willing to work with me in regards to my need for mind/body healing. He read me (5x) after the surgery was complete a healing mantra: "Your surgery was successful and your knee will achieve optimal health very soon."
I will always be grateful to him for his willingness to do these extra things.
Friends, clients and family can attest: I was in virtually no pain! Off my meds within 48 hours.
It's because of my experience that I feel led to help others recover from surgery quickly, as I did. It's kind of like having a "surgery coach" and I welcome the opportunity to work with others as they, too, become active participants in their own recovery.
