Spine gumball update

I’m still getting better. Today I’ve been cleared to take short walks as long as I carefully attend to the tingling level. Oh hell yes. I have not, however, been cleared to do the dishes. So I feel like I’ve reached some kind of local optimum in gimpage.

Speaking of things I’m supposed to be attending to with care, I was going to write about what I learned about pain these last few months, both my own experience and in general. I’ve done a lot of really painful things in my life. Still, this adventure in ow has been something special. (You know you’re in real pain when your cognitive function is better on the opiates.) Unfortunately, a windstorm is blowing in and the lights are starting to flicker. It looks like shutting down might be the better part of valor.
