Asian medicine

I've been suffering terrible pain with one of my knees because of all the hula, getting ready for Na Hula. It's actually not the one I had surgery on, it's the other one. I just want to be able to get through until August 9th, then I'll have to do something.

Anyway, my neighbor who plays a lot of tennis had given me a couple of the patches. I was in such pain the other day, I figured "why not"...it really did seem to help. They're just a stickey patch with menthol and camphor in it. So I asked her what they were called and figured that I'd try and get some tomorrow when I'm in town.

She said that they were on sale at Longs and she'd pick me up some. I figured may $10 for 10. She said, "$2.99/40". I just laughed. What a bargin. Imported from Japan too and the box is even in english!

Gotta love it!

My Nightstand...

As you can tell, I'm not feeling very well. Last Friday, while at Disneyland with the kids, I felt like I had been hit by a truck! We even ended up leaving early (before the fireworks). I spent all Saturday pretty much in bed with a dripping nose and just sleeping. Sunday felt better, Monday felt better. The came Tuesday and the flight home.

It was probably the longest flight I'd ever been on. I took cough medicine, decongestant and anything I could before getting on the plane. By the time we landed, my ears were plugged and I just needed sleep.

Yesterday, I woke up realizing I was really sick! I needed to see a dr. to get some heavy duty drugs. I did, so now my nightstand looks like the picture above.

I've literaly spent a whole day in bed. So unlike me. I've got a lot to do because I have an all day court day tomorrow.

Well, more later from beautiful Waialua.

Aloha,
Jane
