I had to cancel my appointment for acupuncture at the Cancer Wellness House on Tuesday. We had our first big snow of the season and the roads were terrible! It's about a 20 minute drive normally (actually a 30 minute drive--more later) and with the roads being so bad I thought it might take me an hour. I just couldn't risk it. My tires are bald. I have no idea how I'm going to pay for new ones. I hope I make it through this winter without killing myself or someone else (God forbid).
I did, however, go today for my Jin-Shin Jyutsu. See my earlier post for what that is exactly. It took me 32 minutes to get there. I'm not sure I'll be able to go back since I can't take two hour lunches. I'll admit that it took me less time to get back. I think I went the wrong way. I'd love to try it again.
It was different in a good way. I laid on a massage table and she covered me with a blanket. It was quite warm, which was nice as it was 7 degrees this morning! She had nice "spa" music playing. She then put her hands on different spots of my body with very light pressure. Say a hip and a toe. The most "weird" sensation I got was when she had run her hands under the bottom sheet and under by butt. It felt like flutters. Her hands/fingers weren't moving so I know it was me feeling "something". Call it energy. I thought it was funny that I felt it mostly in my butt! I wonder if it's because of the Sandostatin shots I get every 4 weeks? I also felt it a bit in my right arm at times. Almost like a spasm but it wasn't. When she put her hands under my neck it variated from feeling good to being painful. I have such a FUBAR'd neck that I wasn't suprised it hurt! I should have told her but I didn't. I didn't want her to stop! It did last almost a full hour.
My biggest problem right now is stress. I've had some very stressful days at work. I was super stressed out this morning--what with being busy and then knowing I'd be gone for so long. It felt good while it lasted but as soon as I got back to work I was stressed out again! I hope to be able to go back. I still want to try acupuncture.
Everything else is going good. I do have this weird sensation. I guess for a couple of weeks now. It feels like bubbles moving around my lower right side. It is not gas! Not the same sensation at all. I've never been pregnant so I can't really say but I think it's more like feeling a baby move than gas. NO, I'm not preggers! I just don't know what it could be (some weird spasm?). Just call me bubbles... :)
I hope everyone had a terrific Thanksgiving. I did but I don't think Sookie, my dog, enjoyed all the travel. She's not a very good car dog. She sa on my lap the entire four hour drive there and back! I thought for sure she'd sleep coming home because she was so tired but no, no such luck! I came home on Saturday because Sookie has to go to the Vet on Sunday to get her eye checked (she had an eye infection) and get her vaccinations. She was not too happy about that but the infection had cleared up and the shots were necessary.
Take care,
Sharon
