The Fijian Fofo...

Just got back from visiting the famous Fijian Fofo this morning. Nick took me to the house at 8am and there were already lots of people waiting to see this man. When it was my turn, he asked me to tell him about myself and what pains i was experiencing. I told him of the pain on the bottom of my feet, my shoulder and back. He started with my feet and I can't tell you how painful it was as he manipulated the backs of my feet. When I couldn't feel the pain anymore, he told me that it was complete. Then he did my back by pulling on my head until it about to come off my shoulder...then he told me to give him my let hand..he warned me that it was going to be painful but i had no idea what pain was until he started to massage my fingers! I think i must have screamed..but i have to tell you that i feel a whole lot better right now. This morning, I couldn't even raise my hands above my shoulders without a lot of pain but i can now raise them over my head without any pain. As nick and I were driving home, I told nick that it was the first time in months that i can sit in a car seat and not feel pain in my lower back. So, all in all, I am hoping that this will help me. I'm looking forward to this evening to see if I can sleep without resorting to pain pills or even a sleeping pill. I'll let you all know tomorrow.
I love you and miss you lots...........dad

A Fijian Witch Doctor? Remember the one Poli had to see about his problem with wetting the bed? At least your voodoo doctor worked!

I love you so much.

Your MOST beautiful daughter...Shadow!
