Walking funny again

[cjsmith]

I got my second set of Killer Death Injections of Doooom this morning.

As before, I pinched myself awfully hard during each one to distract myself from the pain-and-wrongness sensation. (Last time, the welts I made by pinching took four days to fade. Aren't you glad you now know this detail?) Also as before, I have the anaesthetic effect over much of my foot without benefit of actual anaesthesia. Last time, this effect took about a day to fade.

There are dark purplish dots at the entry points where the needle went in. Those haven't faded from last time, so now I look like I have measles or something. If they all stay for seven weeks I won't be able to resist taking a photo of the resultant mess. :-)

If I concentrate really hard I can walk almost-normally with my partially numb feet.

Yes, it's better. Then again, anything would likely be an improvement over last night, when I was rocking back and forth in pain. I really tried to put distance between me and the pain, but it wasn't working too well.

Yikes. Yeah. Well, I'm glad it's at least better than that!

(I find that putting distance between me and the pain only works when the pain isn't all that bad to begin with. If it's REALLYBADPAIN, I achieve very little with all the mental techniques I know.)

Yeah. I must say the NO2 worked a lot better. ;^)

Yeah, not entirely surprising. :-)
