Today is the least painful day I've had since removing the nerve block machines, by quite a bit. Got good sleep last night + huge nap today too, which helps even further.

Leg pain is even less bad than yesterday 🎉

I keep trying to stretch out my meds so that I'm taking them slightly less frequently, but every time I do that, it gives an opportunity for huge pain to start creeping in.

Gotta try to find that balance that still respects the timing schedule of the meds somewhat, while keeping the pain at bay.

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

I've been finally getting some decent stretches of rest without my leg violently shocking me awake out of my sleep, which is huge. Each time I've gotten good rest, my overall pain level has dropped slightly each time. Definitely a good trend that I hope keeps up!

An obscure piece of #Splatterhouse artwork most likely featured on a Japanese magazine, just in time for Halloween season. Removed a small element from the top left side, taking few liberties, applying the usual upscale/clan/retouch process. No clue on the artist.

Splatterhouse clean artwork most likely featured on a Japanese magazine. Image depicts the main protagonist Rick holding a 2x4 with both hands, sporting his hockey mask and blue outfit with a monster with huge sharp claws standing next to him. This monster strangely resembles the Tyrant from the Resident Evil series.

Surgery recovery means I've got way too much time stranded with not much to do, so to distract from pain, I've been trying to climb ranked in Pokemon TCG Pocket, and I reached a pretty important placement lol

On Friday night, I sent my specialist doctor's office a message about all of what I was experiencing. I made it pretty clear that I urgently need help as soon as possible and that the pain levels were unimaginable.

I was left on read 2 hours ago.

Lol. Lmao.

It is still quite bad, but absolutely better than the screaming vomitfest earlier.

This is the new worst pain I have experienced in life. What the fuck.

It keeps increasing too and I took the maximum amount of painkillers allowable.

I am afraid at how much more horrible this will feel when the pain killers wear off. I might actually have to go back to the hospital.

I slightly accidentally moved my foot up in my cast and it all started because of that. All I'm hoping for is that my Achilles tendon didn't somehow completely tear or something. aaaaaAAAAAA

The back of my foot just kind of instantaneously combust in blinding pain. I am just reeling at the intensity of this. It feels almost similar to the back of my foot having the worst sunburn of my life, while also being stabbed into repeatedly, except worse.

I had to remove the machines giving my leg the nerve block medication and... wow. My leg has been simultaneously asleep and on fire ever since. I took my meds like an hour ago and they still haven't really... helped?

I'm hoping maybe it's just a bad pain day or something...

I'm still poking my head in here and reading these! It's been bringing me a smile every time I see something new 😄

Thank you so much for the kind words everyone. It helps more than you know.
