Heal Your Hernia

The Hernia Blues

I was just trying to help my neighbor, but it ended up hurting me instead. Her dog couldn’t get up the steps in our office complex, and the elevator was out. It was the ice storm of 2021 in Lake Oswego, Oregon, at the Mountain Park Plaza complex, right across the street from PCC. I moved in there, up on the 3rd floor, so I could hold some freedom meetings. This was all during the Covid Lockdowns. Lake Oswego was the wealthiest suburb of Portland, Oregon just south of PDX about 20 miles.

I could fit 50 people into my office, it was about 2500 square feet. We filled it up with people quite a few times. I had quite a few Freedom/People’s Rights gatherings there during the COVID lockdowns of 2020-21 when I lived there.

Then we got that ice storm in January of 2021, was it government weather engineering? We still had nightly riots back then in downtown Portland. Life was surreal. And there was my neighbor, trying to drag her dog up the steps. The elevator was down.

The dog was whining and did not want to go. Heck it could not go, because her hips were not exactly working perfect. She had trouble walking much less getting up the steps! This dog was old and it was pretty fat too.

The lady was crying too, as i entered the stairwell. There they were, crying the both of them, my neighbor and her dog.  I offered to help. I was feeling strong! I offered to help her and her dog.

“Let me carry her up the steps. I can do it.” I exclaimed.

“Are you sure,” the lady warned me, “she is really heavy.”

I was confident, the dog looked big, sure, but I was a big strong guy, wrestling and doing Jiu Jitsu still. Surely I could carry the pooch up 2 flights of steps. The dog wasn’t as heavy as my wrestling buddy Joshua Jones.

So I did it, I picked that dog up, and I lifted smart too, just like I was taught in wrestling practice. And that’s when I felt the muscle rip, my abdomen muscle, and it was that moment i got my first hernia. May it be the last too, because this is my story of how I heal it naturally…

… this is part 1; the injury. Now you know how it happened. My next chapter will be my healing journey, stay tuned. I’m healing it naturally. I refuse to let the white coats cut into my skin.

Stay tuned…
