Set Adrift on Memory Bliss

I finally bought the original PM Dawn "Set adrift on memory bliss" the other night, one of my favorite songs of the 90's, it kind of rolls of over you in a nice comforting wave. I think I've listened to it, ummm, 20 times today :)
Had acupuncture this morning, it went well. I think it helped my arms a few years ago so we thought we'd try it again. I stopped last time because the doctor was also a chiropractor and insisted on cracking my neck, I got tired of saying NO every visit. (He also wanted to fix my pelvic bone which is tilted, and explains my belief my whole life that one leg is dramatically shorter than the other - so their middle school gym teacher...)
The doctor who did the acupuncture today was actually a family practitioner whose business is mostly western medicine, but she felt that there were some illnesses that the cure did more (or different) damage than the disease and she wanted a way to assist the pain without medication.
She said that clinically they tested acupuncture and found it works about 70% of the time and sometimes only as a placebo, which at least still "cures" you.
I liked her because she was very down to earth, although she uses acupuncture for so very few things that I think I still might like to find someone who is a little more of a believer. I don't know, I think there might be something on the spiritual side to the energy that the doctor shares with you... and although she talked about chi and how you are born with your chi and it slowly dies throughout your life (more so during traumatic moments) and she mentioned your "other organs," your true heart etc. she's still very clinical about all of it and didn't think that acupuncture would help with my TMJ (or at least she didn't know how to do it.)
She's sending me to phyical therapy for my arms at the same time so we can also address muscle issues head on.
Despite all the little medical issues the good news this week is for 2 days in a row my blood pressure was 170/80 and my cholesterol is 155 and my blood tests were all good. Yeah. TMI? Sorry.
Odd thought strain for the day - there was some floaty thought passing through my brain about my unborn children and the war in Iraq and WHAT will they think about why we are so involved and will I at any point have to convince my child not to go fight over there? Where does this stuff come from? No idea.
