Ode to the Boo Boo Stick and Plant Based Living

New evergreen tree on the right.

As many of you know, I am moving to Cape Cod.
One of the things that I truly enjoy about our new home is that we have quite a few flower beds and there's a lot of nature. I can sit out in the backyard and hear birds chirping almost all the time all day long.
​
I planted another evergreen, and I was working to pull together and merge the mulch beds. So I was taking away strips of grass and using it to create a path to Carlos the Carpenter’s bees that are now residing on my property. In the process of moving a very heavy wheelbarrow filled with strips of grass, I stepped into a pothole. I went down like a sack of potatoes and twisted my ankle.
That night, I put some boo-boo stick on my leg, iced it, and kept it elevated. But over the night, the pain intensified, and I wondered if I had fractured it.

Carlos the Carpenter's bees.

So off to the emergency care office I went in the morning. There, they did an x-ray, and gave me a boot and crutches, and sent me home.
For the rest of the day, I kept pretty much to the couch. My foot was elevated, I kept applying boo-boo stick, and putting ice on and off for the rest of the day.
The next day I saw that the swelling had gone down significantly. My pain also was dramatically reduced, and by the end of the day, I was hobbling along not needing the crutches.
​
I believe I healed that much in 1 day due to:

• eating Whole Food Plant Based, which helps naturally keep inflammation low in my body.
• applying boo boo stick, which helped control and reduces the inflammation.
• elevating the foot and applying ice packs (on and off).
• I took it easy…and listened to my body.

And now... I am continuing what I am doing to heal. Wash, rinse, repeat.
