I forgot to tell you all about the funny thing that happened during Warren's clinic visit at NIH yesterday. We were telling the doctor about the facial tic that he gets sometimes that pulls down the left side of his mouth. We think it is related to the physical therapy he's been having to stretch his left shoulder. That side is very stiff due to the surgery he had on his neck. Anyway after we told her about it, she said to Warren "Maybe you should try acupuncture to help that." Well, needless to say, I burst out laughing and then had to explain to her how I'd been trying to talk him into it for a few months. So now he'll have to ask the physical therapist to set some up for him at NIH. Isn't that funny? Well it is to me and that's all that matters. I told Warren that he needs to just accept the fact that acupuncture is in his future. In all seriousness, its great that they include acupuncture, reiki, and massage into their healing modalities. I think that is the future of medicine anyway. The mind/body connection has got to be honored for true healing to take place. Not every dis-ease of the body can be healed, but healing can occur regardless of physical outcomes.
I need to get busy around here today. I've got lots of energy so I want to run the vacuum cleaner. I went to bed at 8:30 last night and didn't get up until 9:00. Have a great day. I might post more later if life inspires more topic.
