if anything, I think the acupuncture may have made matters worse

that said, I'm going back tomorrow for another round :crazy:

Maybe it was the lack of zucchini. :think:

Srsly, I know you've got to try something. And sometimes ya gotta try things more than once to really find it if it's right for you.

Maybe it would help if you dress appropriately. You know, your oldest hippie garb. I have a ZZ Top shirt from the 70s if you want to borrow it. :P

Ouch! But I was hoping Rob was going to go for the henna tattoos, petchuli, zuchinis and ohms. Oh well, there's still time.

Rob, get better dammit! Keep trying and know I'll come whack a finger and toe with a hammer if that'll take your mind off of the tingling. Only kidding but I'm sending Chi your way.

Peace.

I Hope it works out for you bud. I have a cronic shoulder injury from throwing a cricket ball around for 20 years(I'm guessing alot of baseball pitchers get the same injury) and acupunture fixes it right up.

Just curious. How much do they charge you for a treatment. The little chinese guy near my place charges me $75 for an hour or $100 for a 45 minute massage and 45 minutes of acupunture.

I hope it works, too.....last night my hands were just aching

the place I go is kind of a co-op kind of place (see earlier posts ). you pay what you can afford, $15-40, for about a 45 minute session.

the girl who works there once a week also has a private practice and she charges $115 for the first 2 hour session and $75 for subsequent one hour sessions. I'm trying to decide if I should cough up the dough for private sessions. here's hoping today's session does SOMETHING.

depends on where she falls on the hot o meter

Hey Rob,

Yep, its true. One year ago today you posted on the forum your diagnosis. Yep, one year ago today. At the time, you may not have had any idea the impact the bearing of your soul would have. But in a way I think you knew this was the right place to turn to. Your original post says it all. And your subsequent posts, keeping us updated, making us laugh, mostly, sometimes cry, but always reminding us of your incredible spirit and the power of this community. Thank you. Thank you for making me a better person and for being you, with all you’ve been through. Hang in there, enjoy those Giants, shows, Gracie and most of all, Codie. Keep on keeping on!

From May 20th of A Cherokee Feast of Days:

“Many of us would gladly take the responsibility of hurt for those we love. We feel we would be more capable of bearing it, more apt to handle it. We want to leave them as unscathed and near perfect as possible. But we cannot take some people’s problems. They must use their own strength and learn what is true and false in living. Not so different from us, they might not take the wisest steps. It may also be hard for them to believe that our experiences have ever been as wretched as their own. It is difficult not to cry with those we love. Our hearts cry, even when frustration makes our faces stern and stoic. But we have to allow other people to put down their feet and take a stand. How can they become strong in their own right if we try to be in their legs?”

Sometimes we prayed in silence; sometimes each one prayed aloud; sometimes and aged person prayed for all of us…and to Usen.

I’m glad its mostly behind you now and that you’re looking forward to a great many better things. I hope you enjoyed the games and got to say hello to Mike and he melted your face off!

Peace.

Just sending some love, light and hugs today.


33 needles? :shock: I would have fainted... You are freakin' amazing, Rob. XO
