just how far...

are ya gonna go with that needle?

as you know, i've been seeing the acupuncturist again for my eye and big toe, which are slowly getting better...just not as fast as i'd like it.

anyway, the last two visits, the last needle she placed has been just above my tear duct. she takes the needle and pushes it down as far as i can stand it (which might be a half inch), holds it there for about ten seconds, and removes it. the first time she did this, i felt a liquid sensation washing over my eye. kinda weird, but it improved the acuity of my vision - less haziness. this time, however, there was no liquid sensation. it did, though, drain the steroid drop that i instilled last night. i dunno how the drop would still be there since i usually taste the drop within the first few hours of putting it into the eye. perhaps my dilation will dissipate; that would be good.

i go back next tuesday for another session. i wonder what the long needle push will bring then...
