March 2021

Hello Friends!

Dd didn't turn in any progress sheets for March so I will just do a quick monthly post instead of a week-by-week post.  We didn't see Dd much this month.

Acupuncture:

I'm very impressed by how well I am responding to acupuncture (ACU is the short version).  My therapist will only take you on if you agree to five weeks of once-a-week treatment with the cupping, organ massage, and needles.  I agreed to this, but it is way out of my budget, but I can handle it short term.  He charges $75 for ACU and $75 for the massage/cupping, so $150 for one visit out of pocket, no insurance.  I had 9 migraines in March.

I was fortunate to get my Covid 19 vaccine #1 on March 24th!  It was quite a memorable experience going downtown to the convention center and being herded as if we were cattle!  I feel better knowing I have the antibodies from my own infection and the vaccine to top it off!

Besides trying ACU, I also had a bite guard made that could help me possibly reduce my migraines.

Vein Ablation:

I had the results from my vein test, and the results were very unfavorable.  I had a procedure to burn my vein that would seal off that bad vein from being used in the future.  My blood will find new routes to work and stay out of that damaged vein.  Dh took the day off and took me.

Church & Bible Studies:

We continue to watch church online, Dh and I.  I'm loving my two groups for Bible study.  I do Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) online and the church one--"Thrive" has been online and in-person depending on the Covid numbers.  I also have Leadership Training each week before our Bible study.

 Dh:

After his two weeks off, March 1st, Dh went back to work.  He really struggled and wished he had asked for another week off.  He somehow made it through, but it wasn't easy.
