I have tacks in my ears

smilelari

I had my pre transfer acupuncture today and she put some little tack things in each ear to be left in until after the transfer.  That's so that during the transfer I can stimulate pressure points.  Weird, huh?

That is weird!  I will have to ask my acu about that in case she can't make it to my transfer next time.

Oh wow, never really thought about that.  Hope they work!

I've never tried accupuncture. 

That is kind strange, but if it works, yay.

I've never heard of that. Do they look like earrings?

That's cool! Would they be hard to sleep in though?

Strange, but cool!

They look more like bandaids because they have a flesh colored cloth covering on top

I think they always do this.  They like the pre transfer appt to be 12-24 hours before transfer (so not the same day) and then you use the tack things for pressure points during the actual procedure.

I was thinking they might fall out when I go to sleep...

I've heard of that, but never knew anyone who had it done. Hope it helps!

They won't.

They last for 5 days.

Good luck.

Thanks for PP!  Don't spaz!
