- Port insertion surgery is tomorrow. Check-in at 10:00, procedure at 11:00.

- I went today for a pre-surgery consultation.

- It went well, I am looking forward to checking this off of my list of things to do.

- Also went for another cranio-sacral session.

- Jaw is still spasming and locking at times, but I think/hope it's getting better overall.

- I have been able to eat more normally and have put some of the weight back on that I had lost.

- Never thought I would be unhappy to lose weight and happy to gain it. But everything else has changed, so why not this too?

- Melanie (my chiropractor) recommended Formula 303, a natural muscle relaxant that contains Magnesium and Valerian root for the spasms.

- I will probably try this as soon as I get through tomorrow's surgery.

- I didn't want to try anything new prior to that, but I am open to anything that will help and not make me feel wacked out of my head like the pharmaceuticals do.
