Pincushion

Friday I tried something I never thought I would do; acupuncture. Needles are not my thing. And being stabbed with dozens of them at a time does not sound like a my idea of a good time. But I decided that if it would help me feel better I'd give it a shot. So in I go, nervous as ever, not sure what to expect. It was an interesting experience. I didn't even realize that I had needles in me at first. I won't lie, some of them hurt, the ones in my ear. It has been weird to be a human pincushion. I went back yesterday and have another appointment tomorrow. I think it has been good. But it's only been two so it's a bit early to tell.

worried

For the last little while my brother has been having some weird medical problems (i.e. vertigo, major headaches). He went in for some testing and I've been rather anxious about the results. Well they came in and they weren't good. He has lesions and white spots on his brain. My brother, my big brother, he can't be sick! He has a family, he has plans. I want to take it all away and put it on myself. It just worries me. I hope that I'm just jumping the gun and worrying about nothing. But lesions and white spots, on the brain just doesn't seem right. Lots of prayers for my Adam!
