So happy for you. I am looking for a good (?) surgeon or someone to help me with my knee and hip pain, so am going to try acupuncture before surgery, but I believe I will need surgery in the short run since I'm getting to that cut-off age. A friend came over to help us today because we're packing to move and we (my husband and I) are in such pain, he with a broken hip and fall and he's reluctant to get an operation (don't blame him), but because the friend came over to help, AND I listened to folk music on public radio station here in West Virginia, I composed a very loving and happy song about friends, guitar + singing. First time I've done that in YEARS. 🙂
Glad you found help, say hello to your partner for me. 🙂
