I left this afternoon at 14:00 to get to my 15:00 appointment with the acupuncturist in Lubon. It's not that far away but I've never been to her place exactly so I wanted to get there in time to find it. It was easy to find, in the Pajo shopping center on the main street through Lubon. The name of the place was Odessos and surprised me quite a bit because it is actually a hair and cosmetic salon owned by the doctor. She arrived a little late, took care of some business and invited me into her small office. Also to my surprise was the machine on her desk for examining eyes. She only spoke Polish but we were able to communicate about 50% of the time. First she did examine my eyes and recommended they be examined by a professional eye doctor. I gave her all the reports from the hospital exams and after reading them she told me she thought the headaches were not caused by any brain problem but maybe because of three fused vertebra's on the left side of my neck. She didn't think acupuncture would help much but intense massage of the neck might in order to get more blood blood flowing though the damaged areas. Even without knowing everything she was telling me I feel she told me more about my problem than the other doctors had told me. She came from Ukraine 22 years ago where she was a doctor and first worked there before moving to Poland. She gave me three options that she thought would help me and told me to go home and talk them over with Joan. The salon is called Odessos because she comes from Odessa, Ukraine.
At home, Joan and I talked about the options and think the massage would be the best place to start. I will let Zbyszek read what she wrote down tomorrow when we meet at Kandulski's.
Wyjecha艂em z domu po po艂udniu o godzinie 14:00, aby zd膮偶y膰 na spotkanie na 15:00 w Luboniu ze specjalist膮 od akupunktury. To nie jest tak daleko, ale ja nigdy nie by艂em w tym miejscu , wi臋c chcia艂em si臋 tam dosta膰 w takim czasie, aby je odnale藕膰. To by艂o 艂atwe, bo to by艂o w centrum handlowym Pajo na g艂贸wnej ulicy w Luboniu. Miejsce nazywa艂o si臋 Odessos i troch臋 mnie zaskoczy艂o , bo w rzeczywisto艣ci jest to salon fryzjerski i kosmetyczny, kt贸rego w艂a艣cicielem jest lekarka. Sp贸藕ni艂a si臋 troch臋 , zadba艂a o jakie艣 sprawy i zaprosi艂a mnie do swojego ma艂ego biura. R贸wnie偶 ku mojemu zdziwieniu na biurku by艂o urz膮dzenie do badania oczu. Ona tylko m贸wi艂a po polsku, ale byli艣my w stanie porozumiewa膰 si臋 przez ca艂y w oko艂o 50%. Najpierw zrobi艂a badanie oczu i poleci艂a je zbada膰 przez profesjonalnego okulist臋. Da艂em jej wszystkie wyniki bada艅 ze szpitala i po ich przeczytaniu powiedzia艂a mi, 偶e my艣li, 偶e b贸le g艂owy nie s膮 spowodowane przez jakikolwiek problem w m贸zgu, ale mo偶e z powodu trzech zbitych kr臋g贸w po lewej stronie szyi. Nie s膮dzi艂a, aby akupunktura mog艂a wiele pom贸c, ale intensywny masa偶 karku pomo偶e w uzyskaniu przep艂ywu wi臋kszej ilo艣ci krwi do uszkodzonych obszar贸w. Nawet bez znajomo艣ci wszystkiego, powiedzia艂a mi wi臋cej o moim problemie ni偶 inni lekarze . Ona przyjecha艂a z Ukrainy 22 lata temu, gdzie by艂a lekarzem i tam pracowa艂a przed wyjazdem do Polski. Da艂a mi trzy propozycje, o kt贸rych my艣li, 偶e mi pomog膮 i kaza艂a i艣膰 do domu i om贸wi膰 je z Joan. Salon nazywa Odessos bo ona pochodzi z Odessy na Ukrainie.
W domu, Joan i ja rozmawiali艣my o jej propozycjach i pomy艣leli艣my, 偶e masa偶 by艂by najlepszy od czego mo偶na zacz膮膰. Jutro, kiedy spotkamy si臋 ze Zbyszkiem u Kandulskich, dam mu przeczyta膰 to, co napisa艂a.
