Almost time to go home

So just on the end bit of a two week stay in Edmonton. Meeting the new doctor and having the best visit with a specialist since diagnosis. A week and a half worth of Rwo Shr with Mrs. Chang. Wow is that crazy painful. Apparently if I didn't need it it wouldn't be painful, and when I'm fully healthy it'll feel like a wonderful foot massage. There were a few funny moments. She squishes the crap out of end points of the various energy lines for various organs and functions, and the 'sleepier' they are the more it hurts. She sits there as tears are almost running down your face saying to your various organs "Wake up, wake up, wake up". Well she's doing my adrenal glands, and she's telling me how they are very sleepy. I told her that they are permanently asleep until I get off the prednisone. I told her they're atrophied and haven't worked since last May, so please don't try and wake them up. Man did that hurt though. Then she's doing where my appendix is on my foot, and it's not hurting at all - feels quite nice actually... She says to me, "oh, look appendix good" I start laughing and tell her that it's good because I haven't had it in my body since I was 5 years old. I tried to get her to keep rubbing there and nowhere else, but it didn't work.

She actually did my feet just before I got diagnosed and told me all the organs that were affected before I got the good news from my dream team. She was dead on. She told me a few things this time too that are beyond what we've had our radar on, so I'm curious what will come of it.

Meanwhile, as fun as this has been, I am so totally looking forward to being back in my home again around my peps and in my environment. It's quite a bit less hectic there - oddly enough. So Jasper, here I come.
