Another Friday
To those who googled for 'chinese doctor' please read here how I ended up in hospital because of the herbal treatment, it took me three months to recover and I'm lucky to be alive; it caused a serious liver failure! Feel free to email me if you have any questions about this, the address is on the right.
I went to the Chinese doctor again this morning and was running late so I called them to tell. Then when I got the Tube to Bethnal Green I got stuck halfway for 10 minutes because of a computer meltdown. I ended up being 15 minutes late. Treatment was okay this time although I had trouble relaxing and I couldn't fall asleep so half an hour felt like ages all of a sudden. Last week I had 30 needles stuck in my legs, arms, belly, neck, face and head. This time 32, legs 8, arms 8, belly 5, face 5 [two right under my eyes and one under my chin] and on top of my head another 6. I have at least 15 treatments to go so I wonder what I will look like since the amount of needles seems to increase each week...

On my way back home I ran into this old man in his power chair who lives in the neighbourhood. He is such a kind man, I ran into him yesterday as well when I came back from my meeting with the accountant smiling from ear to ear because all went well setting up my business. He always says hello and I always greet him back with a smile. He has something so vibrant and radiant about him while he must be at least 80 years old. It's so nice to see. Today he was chatting with a lady and they both said hello to me. It's nice if people start to recognise you and say hello to you, it feels like you're accepted and perhaps I am finally starting to feel slightly at home...


Oh jeez. . . you will look like a porcupine ;-)
Sorry you had trouble relaxing, perhaps not only because of the anticipation of being stuck 32 times (?)
Nice you passed Mr. Radiant again. Maybe you'll have time to stop and chat one day - perhaps learn his name ;-)
Being recognized is nice and does help bring that "home" feeling. I'm fairly anonymous here in this town, and of course no one knows my background, but there are a few friendly people that recognize me at a few 24 hour stores I frequent. . . is nice as they can take the time to chat or just say hi.
Tess, just wanted to drop a note to say your new website looks great!
-D
Jim: Don't you like porcupines? :9 The 32 needles were alright, as long as you don't move ;) but yes I had too much on my mind to be relaxed.
Would love to talk to Mr. Radiant he seems nice :)
You need people like that around you! A sunbeam to your soul on a cloudy day...
Dalton: thanks for dropping the note ;)
How's your music going? Any samples yet?
