Hello my friends,


Sorry I've not been around for a couple of weeks. I've had a lot of work to do and have been pretty beat by the time it comes to unwind-time. I think the tiredness has been accentuated a little by some new medication I'm easing myself onto (you know it Pam? It's called gabapentin). Makes me a bit drowsy when I up the dose. It's supposed to help control nerve pain and they're hoping it will help me to splat

Hello Loubie, I'm soorry that your not feeling well, but then, I'm glad you're taking care of yourself. I haven't had acupuncture done before, but from what I understand acupunture is focused on the pressure points of the body. I know, it's weird, but that's how it's done. I'm not able to think of the information link that is appropriate for accupuncture, I think in Asian countries it is practiced. I guess I have to to some research, huh? lol! It's also practiced here in the US, as well, here it's considered "alternative medicine". For goodness sake, acupuncture has been practiced for centuries!

I'm glad Rizzo is doing ok, and I'm glad that Nony was there with you, too!

I miss you as well, but sometimes taking care of yourself comes first.

Here's a gentle hug for the both of you. {{{{{{{{{{Lou}}}}}}}}}},

{{{{{{{{{{Nony}}}}}}}}}}.

Hugs and Love for the both of you

Gigi

I would like to know more about the acupuncture. Keep me posted on how it is working.
We even have a vet her in Indianapolis that does acupuncure for animals.
I think you should attach those photos too.

Rizzo sounds like a very personable kitty.
It is good to hear from you again.
Take care of yourself.

WB Lou!

Not any real big changes for me except for the classes I needed being added to the spring '05 schedule, which was such big news that I felt as if I had won the lottery. LOL
I actually think I lost my mind for a moment there when I found it out.

I've not ever experienced acupuncture. I wanted to get a hot rock massage this past summer, but it didn't work out. If it didn't snow so much in the mountains, I would schedule a winter getaway. I've been asking about chains for my car. But, I could easily see myself running my Sentra off the side of a mountain. LOL

Nice to see you back. I know what you mean about being tired. This past week had me counting mean looking sheep in my sleep.

Lou! Its great to hear from you. You must be so tired, I know work keeps you quite busy. Sounds like things are going pretty smoothly though? I've never had acupuncture... the thought makes me cringe. Though I got a tattoo and had no problem with that, so I'm not sure what my issue with it is, I just don't think I could do it! Would love to see the pics though... I hope it works for you, I've heard some great things about it. Rizzo sounds too cute, hopefully iV will have the attachment feature back up and running soon, you aren't the only one having issues with it, I've seen several complaints. It was great seeing you again. Pop in again when you can!


Hugs!
