19. "If I was rich, I'd have one every week at my home."

Feb 2022

Hell yeah! I have a buddy who works on rich people for his pay but does charity cases like me because we're pals and I need to have some kind of therapy every so often. He made me, seriously, because I was so skeptical, let him do cupping on me. He grabbed my arm and worked on it, I had pain in my hand, and it convinced me to get on the table and let him do a real cupping session. It was painful, there was a lot of swearing and such, but so worth it. All my therapy goes like that, it's good that a sense of humor is included here, it took four sessions to do a full body treatment because I was in such bad shape at the time, had been homeless just prior to that and hadn't had good healthcare during that year so my friend doing the therapy on me was a blessing of untold magnitude. Wish I could have one even every month!
