Today was day 2 of what my chiropractor called a healing crisis. Last night I started one of my flares along with this healing crisis. This was why I was so violently sick and in such a great deal of pain.
A healing crisis is your body's response to healing and has many different side effects. I had to google some information on what a healing crisis was because I have never experienced one before. Here is a link with some information on what a healing crisis is and how it is actually a good thing to go through on your road to better health.

I spent most of the day in bed due to my flare and this healing crisis. I started to gain some of my strength back by the end of the day, especially after my grand baby came for a brief visit.
Today I found gratitude in:
1. The internet/Google that helped me to quickly understand what my body was going through.
2. My children who would not allow me to do anything today but stay in bed and recover
3. The stories of Olympians on TV which inspired me to make it through this rough day.
4. My chiropractor who continued to monitor my health even over her weekend.
5. Once again my sweet grand baby who came for a surprise visit to brighten my day today.
