On pins and needles....

I think I worried the readers of this blog with my talk of accupuncture and needles. It wasn't bad at all! I had the "moxibustion" procedure done yesterday afternoon. The procedure began with a 1/2 hour back massage. Then the technician placed one small pin in each of my pinky toes. No pain! Then she began burning the "moxa" sticks - which smell like a very popular illegal herb and look like big cigars. She used the burning sticks to heat up the pins for a period of 15 minutes. It made my legs tingly. And that was it! Now, I am supposed to wave the burning stinky sticks around my toes once a day for 15 minutes for the next 5 days. No pins required. Let's hope it works. Baby #2 has been unbearably kicky, so maybe she is getting ready for the big turn?
