Most researchers believe that Olde Robert Selfe was the ancestor of most of the Self family in America. Arriving in Virginia in the 1600s, Robert Selfe appears to have been descended from Walter Selfe of Cripplegate, London, England. The name Self is thought to be a shortened version of Seawolf, dating back to the early Viking voyages along the English coast.
A stress reaction is the lowest grade of the three levels of bone injury. A stress reaction is essentially the early stages of a stress fracture. This occurs when the stresses affecting the bone occur at a faster rate than the rate at which the bone is able to rebuild itself.
Stress is your body's way of responding to any kind of demand. It can be caused by both good and bad experiences. When people feel stressed by something going on around them, their bodies react by releasing chemicals into the blood. These chemicals give people more energy and strength, which can be a good thing if their stress is caused by physical danger. But this can also be a bad thing, if their stress is in response to something emotional and there is no outlet for this extra energy and strength.
