December 23, 2007: God Bless the Weinsteins
Kerry and Judi Weinstein of Acupuncture Family Practice (978443-6789) are the bomb. I brought Stacey in for a treatment this morning, got my own treatment at the same time. Acupuncture is especially good for systemic things like boosting your mood and outlook and immune system. Stacey’s been going since her diagnosis, even when she was cancer-free, and I’m sure that has something to do with her speedy recoveries: the plastic surgeon, on checking her out before she left the hospital, said that she definitely “heals faster than the average Joe”.
The other thing in Stacey’s favor is that she’s just really healthy. She and her family have a beautiful diet, as organic as can be afforded, and although she (like most of us) doesn’t have a formal exercise regimen, she’s constantly on the move, especially from spring to fall when she’s out working in the garden. Our society is really not able to see her as being healthy because of her figure, but she’s showing her true colors through this whole thing.
For example, this morning after acupuncture we went to do some errands, to Dunkin’ Donuts and Whole Foods and the grocery store. We even jumped two deaf women.
(Uh… that didn’t come out right. We jump-started a car belonging to two deaf women.)
So, there was more to do after the grocery store but Stacey wisely said “Home, Jeeves” so we did. Go home, that is.
And that is all. Oh, by they way, the new boob looks great. You really wouldn’t notice the difference if you weren’t engaged in a formal comparison study, and Stacey offered the information that the new one is oddly perky. Reduction on the other side is still undecided, but I say, if the insurance will pay for it, why the heck not?
Unless something cuh-razy happens, I’ll be posting updates after the holidays: have some happy ones!
The Stacey Report 
“We even jumped two deaf women.” LOL! I imagined two ladies sneaking up behind the deaf women, yelling out a war cry, and smacking them over the head with shopping bags filled with Christmas goodies.
And, may I just say, my respect for your sister just grows. I know this post is a little older, but just the fact that she had to deal with drains and pulling tubing out of herself, and dealing with doctors pulling goop out of her–YUCK. She must be strong to deal with all of that. Had that been me, I think I would just spend most of the time being unconscious because that is gross!
