I've been gone for a minute . . .

I recently had surgery to repair an umbilical hernia, I have had since birth. I've lived with a bizarre discomfort, that over the years had progressed to such crazy pain, I could no longer withstand it. Crazy thing is, I didn't even know that I had a hernia until about two months ago. The reason I am telling my story is because health it such a vital thing, and without it we have nothing. My misfortune was extremely minor, compared to most, and I can now say this with conviction; Pay attention to your body! If something seems wrong, see a professional! As I recover, I am beginning to realize I had pain my whole life. I'm so happy to have my health, and appreciate the beauty that life brings me each day. I am recovering sans pain medication, because I simply no not believe in killing or masking pain. I have chosen a natural remedy called Arnica, I have been taking it in pellet form, and place a few under my tongue. It has helped me before and after surgery. I highly recommend it! I'm off to enjoy the beautiful day!
