Sometimes, in the course of healing, you have to put weight on an injured body part. It won't be pleasant, but it's part of healing.

@literorrery for example my hips are hurting so Yesterday I ate an entire pizza :)

@Fuego I had some weight dropped on a psychic bruise and I couldn''t hold it. I'll be okay. I'm still recovering.

@Fuego Sympathy is appreciated. I will heal.

I'm learning to deal with a lot of old wounds I didn't realize had left lasting emotional damage until now, and I'm coming to terms with a lot of past trauma. Some of that involves ripping old bandages off so I can tend to the hurt beneath. The process is slow, but it's happening.
