With baby in the hospital
|
A lot to catch up on! I had my baby on Dec. 27 2012 and he's a healthy baby boy named Connor. Nothing went as planned, just as everyone told me it would. All those hynobirthing classes, breathing practice, natural induction methods and well laid out plans went totally to waste. I ended up with an epidural, a c-section and not being able to keep my placenta to have made into dehydrated capsules (it was whisked away to the lab for some unknown reason). I was almost 42 weeks, never dilated past 4cm and my big boy (10.1 lbs!) was just not coming out the usual way, no matter how hard I tried and how long I laboured. But that's ok, because he's with me now and both of us are safe. It took a bit of time to mourn the birth I wanted and never had but I've come to terms with the fact that I tried everything possible and waited as long as I could and that it was the safest choice. Better luck next time?
The recovery wasn't as bad as I was expecting and within no time we were trucking out to the Bloor Jane Restaurant for breaky, making 4 generations to go to the local greasy spoon. (if you are a local, you will know these people well!)
I was also getting my first massage from Melanie McIvor, RMT (who also gave me my last massage before I gave birth) at Swansea Massage Clinic two weeks after having Connor. And it was much needed! I now totally understand all of the new Mom's who come in with the dreaded "Mom shoulders" - between carrying an infant, breastfeeding and all the aches and pains from having a baby and recovering, it really is awful. I always gave a great pre and post-partum massage before, but it is always nice to walk in your clients shoes for a while to really understand where they are coming from.
I've joined the "Mom-club!" It's still hard to believe sometimes that I'm a Mother, but it's amazing how easily it comes. He's only 2 months old and I already feel like so much more of a pro at this baby stuff. I'm loving every minute (well almost every minute to be honest!) and have bonded so much with my little man, I couldn't imagine life without him. It's so wonderful watching him, watching my husband with him (they are adorable together) and settling into this beautiful family life. We couldn't be happier with our addition, it really has made our love together even stronger.

And as much as I love being home with him, it's time to return to work. I've missed being at the clinic and all the great staff and clients, although it's hard to leave your baby especially so young! But that's the life of an RMT and small business owner and as of today I am officially back on the schedule. Just part-time for now, Sundays and 2 evenings a week (Thursday & Friday) and the occasional Saturday when someone else needs me to cover a shift. It's been 3 months since I've massaged at the clinic and I'm sure a lot of my clients are missing me. Don't worry, thankfully massaging is like riding a bike - you never forget how! I clipped my nails short again yesterday and I'm ready to throw myself elbow deep (quite literally) into work again. See you all soon!
I was able to overcome senile dementia via a complete naturopathic process.
ReplyDeleteAbout two years ago, when I was 56, I started feeling foggy and had occasional memory lapses. My wife, Mary, started to notice it, too, but I also have hearing issues so she thought that was the problem. My memory worsened very gradually over the years, and we lived with it, compensating as needed. I became less social. After some months thereafter, it got to the point where we couldn’t keep making excuses or ignoring it. I had gone from doing our grocery shopping without a list to going with a list, to having the list but not buying what was on it.
Mary went online to do some research, and it was during this process we had been fortunate enough to come across Dr. Utu Herbal Cure: an African herbalist and witch doctor whose professional works had majored on the eradication of certain viral conditions, especially dementia, ( improving the memory capacity positively), via a traditional, naturopathic process and distinguished diet plan. It was by the administration of this herbal specialist that I had been able to improve my condition for better. So to say, the encounter with the above-mentioned herbal practitioner was the first time we ever heard there was something that possibly can be done to improve my memory functionality.
By the existence of such an encounter, I was able to learn of the new approach by which this herbalist successfully treated dementia conditions, which included a distinguished herbal therapy and lifestyle changes of which I had undergone to a tremendous, positive effect.
It was after the completion of the herbal therapy I had started to experience a great deal of cognitive improvement when it came to rational decision making.
In brief, I was able to go through the dreadful hollows of senile dementia without any further hazardous damage to my health condition, and within a short period. Had it not been for the support of my wife, of whom had encouraged me to undergo the above-mentioned therapy and that of the herbal practitioner of whom now happens to be benefactor - I would have been long exposed to the further perils of this condition and of which had been apt to result to a calamitous end.
I would also wish for the same positiveness upon patients who may happen to be suffering from this debilitating disease, and would warmly beseech them to find a confidant like this herbal specialist with whose professional service I was able to attain a divine recovery.
