The Torture Continues





Though you may think this picture has absolutely nothing to do with this post, I certainly do.
Hands, like health, need to be handled with care.
Hence the gloves from the Spring/Summer 2010 Yves Saint Laurent show.

I returned to the acupuncturist last night. I was there for almost an hour and a half and I've never been so uncomfortable. Well, that's not true, but I tend to forget times when I was uncomfortable, so this is the most recent memory I have of unpleasantness.


With my rear end completely exposed, the doc proceeded to pierce me with about 35 needles. I lost count after 25. They were all up my lower back, on my ass and down my right leg. Not
exactly how I wanted to spend my time.

When it was done (and my book nearly completed), I felt a thousand times better, truly. Walking was actually possible without hobbling. Huzzah!


I awoke this morning, however, and all was back to what it was yesterday morning: I can't walk properly. Eff!

In a bizarre twist of fate, Black Dress (apparently my new best friend) told me to go to the second floor of my building. Apparently it's not a fracture clinic, but a rehab clinic. I guess they have massage therapists there and she tells me it's cheap. Away I go.


So much for the run on Sunday :(
