Babe in the Woods

I attempted to write a while back, one night. However my mind drew a blank at the @_____.com . No matter how hard i tried i could not remember the _______?!? I tried blogger, hotmail, yahoo. Every thing but gmail. Haha i felt so defeated as i was at it for over half an hour. I decided to sleep on it and finally remember the next day.

Why the babe ?

I remembered going to the Chinese Physician (sinseh) and wondering rather naively that they would be giving me some herbs and send me a packing home ;) The 1st time they told me to cover my hands in wax (repeatedly for 5mins) after that Doc J snapped my wrists back to positions and did some rather painless but frightening acupuncture. They did this for about 3 to 4 sessions and finally it my wrists got better. However my stiff neck was another problem.

This was scary. Doc D asked me to relax as she stood behind me with my hands behind my back. She stretched me out like a pretzel and snapped my neck too.....oohhh Felt kinda strange actually but good ;) I tried to remind myself they have degrees from Nanjing University and one of them is a professor. Images of vampires came to mind as they sunk yet another needle into my neck.

Next they told me to lie down and my head was wrapped round a rather strange device. Every so often it would click and pull ( and i mean Pull) my head back a little. Needless to say i felt rather "light -headed" after it all.

For my last trip they told me i will be going for "tui na" sounds good. I wondered if it was the lack of sleep or lack of chinese knowledge i actually thought it would be some sort of a nice massage. Boy was i wrong.

This rather cute boy used his fingers to pull and press on every single painful spot on my neck for about 20mins. He asked if it was painful at some points. ( It was!) I managed to hold it together praying that this will all work out good. After he was done i thought i was finally over but our Professor came and she told me she will be doing "ba qua" . Didnt know what it was but if it was good for me what the heck;) It turned out to be the little glass bulbs that they burnt and placed on your back. Haha it felt like i had big, gigantic lechers sucking on my back at one point she asked if it was painful as she rubbed with the lech across my shoulder.

Having said all of that , the fact that i can type this blog proofs that it did work after all ;)

So I`m glad and Praise to God for bringing me thru it all. After all what Can be worse that The Labor Pain .
