Fear causes us to tense, it increases our heart rate and if severe, brings on Hyperventilation or the adrenal Fight Flight Response. Thankfully this didn't occur. Education, simply being told what will happen and having the reassurance of being in capable hands does much to preventing an extreme alarm.
The two nurses in attendance were marvellous...Praise God for dedication.
In Isaiah 43:1 we are reminded, " Fear not for I am with you. I have redeemed you and called you by name. You are mine.....
Today, a much happier little girl now supports a lighter caste.....And she knows, "She can do all things through Christ who strengthens her." Phillipians 4:13 Because, it is a promise from the one who loves her the most..
Feel free to tell her I was a grown man who had a severely sprained left ankle and had to wear a case. When it was time to remove it, as he sawed through the cast, I could imagine him getting too close to the skin, just like her. Sometimes it's helpful to know even adults get a little scared at times like that. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Bill, Yes thats true. Thank you for sharing. As an adult you would have been expected to fend more for yourself also. I broke my arm last year. The Orthpod gave me a choice....full or back slab....It was terribly painful.
ReplyDeleteI was trained to apply a P.O.P. years ago. We took turnes applying, wearing and cutting off each other. It was the best example, accept no pain was experienced.
I will tell Shiarn about you. She is an intellegent little girl and will take it in very seriously.
She has just told me she is glad you are all better now and be careful...
I told her you are a True Blue Bear and will be.
