The Little Things.

Have you ever thought about what makes your life worth wild?
I have.

Yesterday in the office I was able to have a patient who is in her 70's tell me about what makes her life worth wild. You see for years she has been in pain that has been preventing her from enjoying her life. She has not been able to work in her flower garden, bowl, dance, do daily activities without pain. It got to the point that she has been very depressed and taking medications for her depression. This was not helping. She felt her life was not worth going on with. But why she was sharing this with me was that for the first time in years she was starting to enjoy her life for she was pain free for the last two weeks. You see she has been under care now for four months for her pain. In the beginning she was not getting relief. During the first re exam we could see that her nervous system was starting work correctly even though she did not have symptomatic relief yet. As the second month of care started she did have a few days with less pain. By the third months she had a few days that were pain free. Then by the fourth month we had decreased her treatment plan to seeing her just every two weeks.
So back to the point what makes her life worth living. The Little Things she said "I was able to bowl three games this week and each game I felt better.  I was able to work in my flower garden, and I felt better. I was able to go for a walk, and I felt better. My depression is under control and my pain is gone. Life is great. This weekend I get to go to my Grandsons Wedding and will be able to dance. I am so happy to be able to do this" she told me. She said "thanks for letting me have all the Little Things back that make life worth living".
