"bruised but not broken"

Sometimes on that path back, you gear up and realize the importance to self advocate.  I would not be in PT/OT if I had not told them.  They wanted to give me drugs for the PTSD and not sleeping well without a psych consult.  I had been asked about pain management from every front and outside of drugs they gave in the bags in the hospital, I have had nothing.  The surveys ask about pain.  YES there is pain.  But for me I deal with pain differently and try not to manage it with drugs first. SELF ADVOCATE
and I dwell in this body, I know things.

The Nutritionist wants to go right to supplements when certain things are low, what about a plan do with food.  Anyone who knows me knows I kill it in the kitchen.  How about I use nature to help.  What about meditation?

Treating the whole person is where medicine is still behind, but you can treat yourself.  AND expect them to respond.
