A bunch of holes in your body really makes you feel better!

Yesterday I received acupunture for the first time in my life - ever! No - this was not done by a Honduran but by a guy from the States that has his Master's in Chinese Medicine - with a focus on acupunture (or something.) I had the best night sleep last night that I have had ...ummm... probably in years. I could not feel the needles going in (except maybe a small tug occasionally) and only when I moved I could feel something in my back. I lay with them in my back for like 30 minutes - the idea being that the small holes in my back made by the needles would increase bloodflow to the area and relax those muscles and induce healing.

I think that my low back has not felt this relaxed in (honestly) years. I am still tired and hope that another night of rest will help me recover. But if you have back problems and have not tried acupuncture - TRY IT!
