Spa Morning

Yesterday was the day. The day of my magical massage. This just wasnt ANY old plain massage. This is what Im calling the 'Cancer Massage'. After many trips to my oncologist, staring at that little sign offering them up. I finally scheduled one. Whats the worst that could happen? The price was cheap in my world of massages. So I took that leap of faith yesterday. 

It was AWESOME!!!! It is at on of the oncologist actual facilities done by a professionally trained nurse. My girl rocked. Bless her heart I know most people dont talk during a massage, but I just couldn't resist. I chatted thru the entire thing. Hey its my session Ill do what I want. 

They taylor it to your specific needs, which was nice. I have radiation burns, scarred areas from surgeries etc. They also go in and look at my charts, lab work, etc. to see what they can safely do. (hence my cancer special). It was nice to see that they had my safety and comfort at the root of it all. I also helped in the overall comfort level. Im not bashful by any means, but I needed extra help on/off table etc, that I wouldnt have gotten anywhere else. It really was the best thing EVER!!! I left feeling so relaxed that I could hardly keep my eyes open. 

After my session we went straight home for lunch. I could hardly keep my eyes open the rest of the day. I spent napping. I napped and napend and napped. I actually fell asleep mid food bite at dinner. Eric put my butt to bed at 7. Ha. Granted now here I sit at 1am wide awake. This was the most sleep Ive had in DAYS. Im tottally attributing it to my nice massage today. So even thought I may have chatted my poor therapist up and down, at her hands I finally was able to sleep. God Bless that woman and her awesome hands. 

I could cry at how happy she made me today. So as for those little signs in doctors offices? Sometimes they are worth looking into. Im totally splurging and getting another one of those. :)
