Quick update ....

I had acupuncture done on Friday afternoon last week in an attempt to stop the hives from continuing. It seems to have helped ... nothing new "developed" over the weekend, which is a record. I woke up Friday morning with an ear infection also, so I'm taking medicine for that now. I am in Tampa this week (Monday through Thursday) for a work conference. The weather is supposed to be beautiful - 70's and sunny. Pray that I am healthy when traveling. I'm the only one going from my office.

The hardware removal surgery for the foot is still scheduled for Tuesday, November 20th. It is an outpatient deal at a surgery center near the Chicago orthopod's office. Not sure of a time yet - probably late morning. Our plan is to spend Monday & Tuesday night (20th & 21st) in Chicago, unless I am up for driving back right after the surgery.

Keep praying that I remain healthy between now and the surgery ... you know how it goes - they squirm at a sniffle going into surgery.

Hope you have a great week!

Acupuncture, huh? Hey, one of my colleagues does acupuncture, chiropractic and holistic medicine for our canine and feline pets...if you ever need help, maybe you can come in bark, meow, try to scratch or bite someone and WE could try to help you out! No, just kidding...would probably lose my license for it. Good to hear that you're trying EVERY avenue to rid yourself of the pesky hives. Eastern medicine is sometimes a great adjunct to our normal run-of-the-mill Western remedies! Thinking of you! Laura
