Bad Bloggers

Since N8 and I have started back at work, we have fallen back into a semi-boring routine.  Since we are in front of the computer all day at work, we usually try to stay away from the computer at home to give our eyes a rest.  The problem with the school computers, though, is that they have some blocked sites and our blogging site is one of those sites...so that is why we have been slacking.

One interesting thing that has happened here is that N8 hurt his foot. He was running on a treadmill when he felt a pain on the bottom of his foot. We weren't sure what caused the pain, and the Korean doctors didn't give much insight.  But he adapted well by creating his signature limp/run/shuffle around the house that left me howling every time!

So, sceptical N8 decided to turn to eastern medicine for help.  This was his first experience with acupuncture, which is mainly paid by our medical insurance and very cheap otherwise.  Many Korean people highly suggest acupuncture for a variety of illnesses and pain.  N8 was not too happy with his experience.  They start by asking for a pain point and then place needles in different areas on the body (just a few) and then put burning herbs that are placed in a bullet sized capsule on his foot. 

N8 only went a few times and then gave his foot a few days of rest from being poked and prodded and he surprisingly got much better! His foot is good as new, but he is still keeping a close eye on it while he works out regularly. 

P.S. I put this photo representing N8 because I didn't want to gross out my dad with real pictures of acupuncture. You're welcome Lar.
