Elbow (not the English Rock Band)

I injured my elbow in August (last year. . . .I am a slow blogger.)  I rested it in September, got a cortisone shot in October, and it still hurt in November. 
My orthopedist (who had been fortunate enough to enjoy my previous injuries with me) told me there was nothing he could do and that I should rest it the rest of the year.
In January it still hurt.  Since I was out of ideas, I decided to try something new-to-me but is actually really old. . . . acupuncture.
Different rooms had different themes.  100_4488100_4489100_4490

Oh, and I got poked too.  And then I would take a nap (nothing to do and *relaxing* music will do that to you).

While it did help for a little while, it seemed that something more was wrong with my elbow than I had hoped.
But it was a GREAT stress reliever leading up to the wedding!
And it turns out there is an English Rock band named elbow (go figure!)
