So today I had the acupuncture. I had 10 needles put in and around the ankle area to help break down scar tissue, then a heat lamp was left over my ankle for about 20 mins. It doesn't hurt, I could hardly feel the needles going in. Next time I am going to take a book, because all the posters are in chinese, and so have limited interest. Though I found out they use arabic numbers in china as they are quicker than chinese numbers.
I had the projector for using with the computer stolen out of my room today which is very disappointing. fortunately I had locked the room so it is not my fault, and so I don't feel personally responsible, but it will produce a certain amount of trouble.
Had coffee with the husband this afternoon by ourselves. You know, without children. It was nice to finish the occaisional sentence :) We must try to do this more often.

I think it has done something because the ankle is puffy this morning and the lumps feel softer, but the proof will be in a few weeks time when I will either be able to go jogging without pain in that ankle, or the pain will still be there.
