    in time once you begin to heal more during the next few weeks little movements grow into bigger movements ... like a ball rolling down hill picks up momentum so will your confidence in your movements.

    i broke my left ankle and torn the achilles tendon i the other at the same time.

    you just been thru a lot of trauma. take some time to pamper yourself , relax and let go of the anxiety .

    Your Bodies natural healing power will show you the way. just listen as the healing weeks roll by like yesterday. in a few months it will not even be a uninterrupted memory.

    sending healing blessings your way.
