Blanco injured her arm over 6 months ago and has been unable to use it. She has not come to the clinic because she is afraid to come out in public. Many people all over the world have been facing this same fear. Debilitating fear. This has kept us from our family, our friends, our support systems. Everything.
This lady is not the only one in our area. We have had to reinstitute home visits for many people who have developed Agoraphobia. (Fear of leaving the house) Even though , logically , it makes not sense to let a stranger in to your house as they still have the capacity to make you sick. Since the home has become a "safe place", they are unable to make any efforts to think logically. The fear rules everything.
We wrapped her arm but she needs a surgeon. No way she is letting that happen. She did take the first step by coming to the clinic. Hopefully we can get her to a surgeon before she completely looses use of the arm.
Overcome your fear, be kind to others, learn to not only live in the world but we need to become part of the solution.
All the best, gayle
