Two days ago, I fell down the stairs.
The next morning I was basically completely crippled, as I believe I injured just about every muscle in my entire body.
For those of you who don’t know me. I move fast. In fact, I hear people say that all the time.
As a result of my speediness, I get hurt ALOT, I am the only person in the world who can drop their dinner fork off their plate and get it embedded an inch deep into the top of my foot. True story.
So the fact that I almost get a leg chopped off or some type of cut on a daily basis has made me develop a pretty high pain tolerance, but this stair deal was really causing me some discomfort.
While rehashing the gory details of my epic fall to my wise Mother in Law, she suggested Epsom Salts. Well, zipp-pa-dee-doo-da, I just happen to have some of that.
I emptied the entire contents of the salt package in the tub and slinked in. I soaked until I could soak no more.
To my surprise, I got up out of the tub, without one shriek of pain. It’s a miracle…a miracle that lasted about an hour. The salts eventually wore off and I got stiff again.
According to the internet, the salt works by releasing magnesium, which is absorbed through your skin and acts as a pain reliever and reduces inflammation, very scientific stuff here, folks.
Today, I went out and invested in a butt load of epsom salt and I am pretty excited about it.
Anyway, in case you fall down the stairs any time soon or throw your back out moving a sofa for a friend, whatever, I just wanted you to know about the salts.
Epsom salts…yeah, we hang out.
