Massage

I'm taking yesterday and today as days off from the IB's in an effort to be kind to my liver. Yesterday wasn't too bad, today is a lot worse.

I got a massage today - my therapist is the best. He did some reiki at the end of the massage, which was a first for me. As he was doing it I tried to think of walking without any pain at all. Reiki is a unique feeling - like pulsating heat, although he wasn't touching me at all.

Mentally, I feel like I'm in a good place. Ready for the surgery, determined to be strong. Let's see where I am in another week or two.

Now, a few hours after the massage I'm in less pain than I was earlier today. That's what is all about.
