Truama and Health

Todays Featured Article…

I found myself speechless, absolutely speechless when my wife and I received a phone call, now several weeks ago about a dramatic accident which had happened in the middle of the night. For those who have received those phone calls know what I am talking about. The next very next moment we are discussing how we are going to travel several hours (approx.6 ) and next we are packing for the trip.

Every thing had been put on hold, including posting to this website.

Now , having no idea of the outcome, til our arrival, finding love one’s life was just hanging on by threads.

This may be perfectly well , be a time where your own health may put to the test.

Trauma, spending days at one of the largest trauma centers in the country, is a whole world of its own. You are surrounded with some of the best professionals in the hospital… my hat is off to theses folks who continue to give of themselves a 110% with life and death situations. Though I was only there for a few days, my wife was back and forth several times.

I was completely exhausted, very little sleep, emotions wearing up and down, meeting several folks who had their own trauma, and on top of that hearing and seeing love one moarning and greiving over the loss of their love one.

I found this much harder this time, perhaps middle age is beginning to show, though I have lost most of my immediate family.

The conclusion was to be mentally prepared…

For those who have religious faith, prayer may be a good start,

Next take several deep breaths, fresh air

Step away when frustrations start to catch up with you,

Gather strength from friends and relatives,

Most importantly eating well and drinking plenty of fluids,

Lastly, exercise, walk the hallways if need be or around the block.

What is this all about… seems to me, it is very easy for all who were there, to get caught up in the surrounding trauma, and their emotions, and forgetting to take care of themselves.

Todays health is all a matter of how we look at life, seek advise when need be, and take the the necessary actions which may lead us to a more healthier life.
