38 weeks of post-injection practice:

Watching ants,
And a gnat crawl across my toe.
Can't feel a thing.
What else can't I feel,
Bird flutter,
Sounds,
Insect buzz.
The sun on my...
Train of thought takes me away.
Back again.
House noises behind me.
Dog in the yard.
Sun on my head, neck, face, ear...
Spider, ants, gnat,
Still can't feel a thing.
I see it moving,
Can't feel it.

I feel it too Ample.........The not feeling any feelings! Just now anyway as I sit at my desk. I reckon a hot iron could quite pleasntly lie across my hands without a batting.

It's like the pain (physical or whatever) is so great, nothing else can register. Saturday was a touch one... unbelievable.

Juancho!! Big Love back at ya! Say hello to the family. Happy holidays!


correction: "Saturday was a tough one", not a "touch one"... possibly a Freudian slip...
