But ya know, just not feelin’ it at the moment. SO yesterdays medical shit: The MRI was a total cake walk. It’s not all that difficult to lay still for 20 minutes and ignore the loud clanging when you have earphones blasting classic rock on. Needles in the neck, however, was…special. See, my doc, she [...]
or at least its starting off that way…never can tell how these things will go… So, here in about, oh, five hours or so, I shall begin my day of Doctor Madness. Nine am is the appointed hour for the next installment of needles in my neck scars, then long about 11:30, it will be [...]
She might be immune to pain, but damn, she bleeds like crazy!
Posted: May 21, 2010 in In The Neck, UncategorizedAh yes, needles in the neck day. Twelve was the grand total this time. And sure enough, what with the scars having scars and all, it does not hurt- not even a little. I feel pressure, kind of a pinch like feeling, but no pain…I could actually probably sleep through it (in fact, almost dozed [...]
So, went to my doc on Friday… VERDICT IS… MORE FUCKING SHOTS. This is the part where, internally, I plead…oh ffs, just fucking cut me open again!

So yeah, I am the proud owner of, IMHO, the coolest scar EVER. And it is promised it will probably actually get even COOLER. I don’t mind scars, which is probably a really good thing…heck, I kinda like them. Road map of the life and all… Florida (aka, a Sunny Place for Shady People, [...]
So, yeah, here I am, a week + a little since my surgery. What, with the goggles (thanks Vlad!), hair that hasn’t been washed since…er…the surgery (stitches gotta stay dry and all), smirk, and scars that literally now have…er…scars, I figure I gotta be a real eye sore unless you’re, ahem, into that whole Tremor [...]

The 2-something am Monday Post…
Posted: March 15, 2010 in Blogging, Gaming, Humans, In The Neck, Sex Work, SportsPhreak is contemplative for me, since, well, I cannot move my head and stuff. So the random Monday Mornin’ bits… In the Typical File: Radical Feminists get pissy and hostile when those lousy fuckin’ sex workers dare to speak for themselves and have opinions of their own and get testy with erronous universals. How the [...]
Okay, aside from this whole damn thing being itchy as hell- the collar is itchy, the shunt is itchy, the bandages are itchy, the medical tape is itchy, the sutures are itchy- I am, sans painkillers even…in surprisingly little pain… Except for where this fucking shunt tube is SEWN into my goddamn neck. Which is [...]
