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.

Thanks! Er, got a walker? It's both feet. :)

Actually I hobble pretty well. The wacko numbness lasts only a day or so. Today I'm walking like a little Lego person (y'know, no joints) but by tomorrow I'll be more natural again.

Yep, by tomorrow I should be walking like a person again. :)
