The other day I came home from work to find my wife nursing her swollen arm. Its only sprained she non confidently said. Now I am no doctor although I don't mind the occasional episode of House, but even I could tell it was worse. We had a dinner appointment that night and friends of ours convinced her to go to the hospital (Isn't it amazing that our wives will listen to friends more than husbands some times) so off we went. After a 90 minute wait the doctor looked at her arm. "Its only bruised", Kathy told him! But he didn't need episodes of House to let her know even before the x ray that it was broken. And in 2 places it was!
Some people do life with a "its only a sprain" mentality or in Monty Pythons words "Its only a flesh wound" when in fact there is actually a break. Slowing down enough, being surrounded by the right people who love and care for you is a good start to recognising the type of healing that is needed.
