Much done today.....
Today started with the dog's (Sadie's) turn at the doctor for a follow up check up..she did well...BUT.....because she has the crystals/stones problem and a skin allergy problem, we had to go back to the EXPENSIVE dog food......maybe we will have her work it off...somehow (but she's a bad watchdog)....
Linda and I did our first Reiki session at the hospital...it was very relaxing..we are signed up for two more sessions in the next two weeks and then they are going to show us how to do it for each other...it lowered my blood pressure for sure....
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
Tomorrow Linda and I are attending a Stress Management and Relaxation Session at the hospital...we are jumping into an assortment of classes and sessions to support what is going on..we need all the help we can get.
Monday we are back into anxiety counseling..and we'll be doing that for a while.....and we also are joining the support group of cancer patients and caregivers at the hospital.
Linda is holding up pretty good today...one day after her chemo....a bit of a rash (more like a flush)....expected but hasn't shown up previously....treated with antihistamines.

This Reiki thing could turn out to be big at the track......We could set up a CCIC Reiki tent at the races and......oh, nevermind.
Glad to read that you are talking care of all aspects of your health.

Happy to hear you are reach out for help with other methods to help you guys cope. It is great. It can't be said that you haven't tried everything. Keep up the good work.
Love, Janet
Wow, sounds like you two have a lot of new friends you're making with all these support groups. All the more reason to celebrate!
Just think of the 10-year clean bill of health party we'll be able to throw for both of you with all the supporters who have helped you along the way. Look at everyone you've already touched on this journey!
