Oh yes… Nobody likes gout and when the kids and I pray, we ask gout to go away and never come back!!! Joey’s left foot got attacked by Mr. Gout when we were about to end our Chinese New Year in the Philippines. It was probably caused by too much eating of all sorts of food (including the forbidden ones such as monggo) and too much walking. After 2 weeks of agony he finally decided to rest his aching foot and see a doctor. Yipeee!!! So there he is in an eastern hospital, which mainly usese Chinese medicines and the world known accupuncture. However, accupuncture can only be done after the swelling goes away so he was first given some medicines to take for a few days. Tomorrow we will go back to the hospital again to see if he can go through with the accupuncture.
