Ways to push past pain!

Well many of you know I had my knee replaced two weeks ago! I have found different ways to distract myself when the pain sets in and I get sick from pain meds!

Number #1-think of someone who has endured greater pain and my pain doesn't"t seem so bad! My nephew lives in pain daily and I only have it for the short term!

Number 2- Music , such as Mandisa"s stronger song, guides me through it and let's me know I am not alone! I am religious so better than an hallelujah works for me too!

Number 3- do something for someone else! I use Spark to help post and encourage others! They always encourage me too! I am so grateful for my spark friends!


This is the killer one and having ice on helps, but still I use the strategies above to help!

A good nights sleep listening to music to fall asleep!
