Heel, heal, real.

A week or so of increasing right heel pain, along with sprained little toe left, eased finally by capsaicin patch application. Why didn't I think of this earlier? Probably pain interfered with thought.

As it so often does.

visual field loss

Wobbly, scintillating letters as I looked at the crossword at work, migraine aura. Finished the case, got help from coworkers to clean, I hurried home before I lost vision. About a third of left field smeary by the time I got home. Cocktail of drugs to forestall a full fledged attack.

With good care, doing better now.

Inconsistent skills, consistent pains.

Going bowling was going to create aches, I knew hand and foot back and shoulder.

On top of what I already have, hand and foot, back and shoulder.

And so I tend to hands and feet, back and shoulder, glad to have been among friends.

Got a few strikes, a few spares, a few gutter balls, I am content.

The right sort of healing

Free floating anxiety, the urge to sob for no reason, like a chill. A simple lack of downtime for too long. Lacking other, focused reasons, my body simply reacts as it always has.

So, I put my head down as though I had a flu, and listen to the wordless anguish.
