Thanks to everyone for their support. I got there without a PA- YAY! It was my 3rd session and it went pretty well. After my last session I became extremely anxious- I think he opened up too much Qi (Chi) LOL! But this time he did less and today I feel pretty good today. Glad to be off work.

Again thanks so much to everyone and I hope you all have a calm, peaceful weekend.
