Ready, Set, Spasm

I started work last week with some meetings and all staff conference where I got to hear some awesome testimonies of the new staff members. Four years ago I stood in front of the BFA staff and shared the miracle of my own journey to BFA. Now I'm sharing this journey to walk again as I get ready for students to return in less than two weeks. 

I'd love to say I'm striding along, but with the imposition of school schedule, my calves are complaining with more spasms than usual. It's not the end of the world, but it is annoying. I don't have any exciting report this week, but I'll do my best to work up an exciting adventure or jump in my progress this coming week. I'd tell you my hopes are high, but honestly, I just want my legs to settle down in meetings. It's embarrassing when they bounce around while I'm trying to pay attention.

    Laura....will keep you in my prayers that these spasms will subside. Are they like "restless leg" syndrome? If so, I've heard that pickle juice helps with that. Or, are they painful muscle spasms? Inflamation in muscles can cause painful spasms, which I've had subside when I took Turmeric capsules internally & put pultices of a Turmeric paste on the hurting, inflamed muscle. I hope you can get Turmeric in Germany.....probably in an Indian, Indonesian or Middle Eastern store. I bought some Turmeric spice in Israel. Hopefully, you can get it in Kandern. I'd try anything....hope & pray something will work for you. Praying that the start of school will be a blessing for you and your students. Hugs!! Linda Durieux
