They called on Monday to tell me they had a cancellation for this week. Actually, they had 4 cancellations for me to choose from. I made my choice and hustled off to Cruces this afternoon.
I managed to get there with just 10 minutes to spare and was escorted to the exam room. It took the Doctor a while to get to me as he was diligently working with another patient. I could hear them talking and while I couldn't understand most of it, I knew they were working on medical things.
When he got to my room, we talked about how the last treatment made me feel, what helped, what didn't. He asked a number of further questions and explained that several of the issues that I have are coming actually from the mess that my neck is. That is manifesting itself in many issues that take place on my left side. He asked questions about digestive issues. (TMI wont go into detail) I answered and he explained again that those things take place on my left side.. again back to my neck. We discussed the issues with my left knee as my ankle has stopped swelling and is feeling somewhat better (some new shoes will help that as well) and he tested out my knee. Then we got to the actual session of acupuncture. It amazes me that he can push and poke HERE and I tell him YIKES THAT hurts... ...... and then inserts needles over THERE.. then when he goes back to push and poke HERE.. it feels absolutely wonderful.
Today, after inserting the needles, he put the heat lamp again on my shoulder, one over my stomach, and my feet in a warming box and left me to it for over 30 mintues. With in minutes I was "floating" What a wonderful feeling. Just enough warmth all around me to make me feel like I was on a cloud, my mind drifted away on the sea of beautiful music playing and I floated in and out of napping.
When he finally came back in and asked if I had had any discomfort, I told him it was wonderful and I felt as if I was floating. He said "ahhhh then it is working the way it is supposed to"
This trip I also left with a handful of "pills" What are actually better known as supplements, called Relaxed Wanderer to take 2 times a day till I return on the 7th of August. We will then discuss how this has or has not helped my "digestive issues"
I would honestly do this every day I believe. I cant wait now to go to bed and see how I feel in the morning and see how well I sleep.
More updates to come.
