Monday morning

We had a show in Holland, MI, on Saturday.  It's nearly 80 miles one way.  Road trips usually set my nerves off and I have quite a bit of pain the following day.  I didn't this time.  I had an acupuncture appt last Tuesday.  I'm wondering if that's the way to go-have acupuncture a few days before a road trip.  Or I'm getting better and won't suffer quite so much.  I have minor discomfort, but it's so easy to ignore since I've had so much pain in the past.
