How many needles?!

This morning I gave Eastern medicine a try.

Another story for another time, but the other day I smacked my shin pretty hard.

Really hard.

And I've been semi-limping since. After seeing me hobble into the morning meeting and sitting on the sidelines at yesterday's soccer game, one of the Majors suggested acupuncture to relieve my pain.

Oddly, it was relaxing having 10 slim needles inserted directly into the huge knot on my shin. I can't say that the pain is completely gone, or if the lingering tingle from the needles is distracting me. I tried it though. I find that sometimes its easier to just say 'yes' than to try to reason or refuse their requests.

Koreans are persistent.
