Lecture at 9:30. Fran met us later and orchestra gave matinee at 11. Very good. Headache. Slept most all afternoon. After dinner tried to rub Tin's headache away. Wrote letters.
IN RITA'S DAY: No aspirin without a prescription until 1915, so headaches were often dealt with by massage. Rita's mother Lottie (Charlotte, above) was quite well know in her area for being able to relieve headaches and Rita picked up the technique. Unfortunately, drugs became available and the technique was not passed on after Rita. (PS I love the picture above because I still have Lottie's necklace - but not her massage ability).
TODAY: Lots of people are trying to get back to simpler ways to deal with pain - like massage. But overall, we are very dependent on our "drugs" like aspirin, Tylenol, Advil, Aleve, etc.
Judy's Entry: Friday, Feb 4, 2011
Went to Mt Kisco in the morning for Mom's eye injection. She gets one every six weeks to slow the progression of her macular degeneration. Then did some shopping and tried to get things ready for her supper since I was going out. Went to MJ and we played and ate Chinese food in celebration of the Chinese New Year - the year of the rabbit.
