still getting tattoos? I hope I hope!

April 20, 2004

Hi!

I emailed Sue about the tattoo thingy during/before/after the conference but

she said she was not sure when and even if it was still planned. Since she is

the transportation it sort of worried me but she said to contact you. I know

it is a long time away and everyone was sort of hyped up about it then but

maybe not anymore! She said I should contact you about plans. I really didn't

want to bother you when you are going thru such pain but I figured I should so

I can cool my jets about getting the tattoo if I need to. Are you still

planning on getting a tattoo and when you go to Buffalo? I sort of need to

start

thinking about how many days before and after the conference I will be

staying. If you know anything about this can you let me know?

I am pretty sure that Aase wants to get her tattoo " fixed " but have not

heard. I hope the momentum didn't wane... I just got the guts after all these

years!

Hey ... how is your neck/back and therapy going. I had to be off list for a

while so I didn't hear after your second or third session. I heard that you

were not happy about how it was going but nothing after that.

Let me know.

Love you!

..................Hi Deb!

Yes, I would still like to do this - the thing is, I know we are also

planning to drive up to see Jill. Sue, do we have a day that we're

doing that?? I'm thinking that would be Monday?? I'm probably

leaving Tues. night or Wed. morning, so that leaves only Tuesday for

the Tattoo thing, and if it's OK with Sue and Aase and you, I'm game!

What say you, Sue and Aase???

...................Well, it's doing better, Deb. The gal at PT, the

one who is a doctor, has been doing something to me to relieve the

knots or pinched nerve or whatever it is, and it's not as painful. I

just wish she could do more of it for longer, but she's not very big,

and can only put pressure on my neck for as long as her small hands

will let her. She puts a towel over her arm, and then cradles my

head and moves it around until she hits the sore spots...then she

lifts my head up and puts some pressure and sort of rubs the spots

until they kind of disappear, or at least get smaller and less

painful. I don't know what it is she's doing, but it is helping. I

haven't had a headache since she began that. And my neck does feel

better. I sleep in the collar and wear it at work when my neck gets

tired and sore. Thanks for asking! How are you????

Well, I'm at work, so better get back at it. As far as plans go,

Deb, I want Sue to be our guide, as we're sort of taking advantage of

her huge, kind heart! It is important for me, and I think the

rest, to go see Jill, too. So it's up to Sue and everyone else too,

but like I said, I'm game!

Love Lana
