* Monday, my body basically devised itself into at least three factions and did the equivalent of having a throne war in which no one was the winner and I was substantially the loser. The pain and general unpleasantness were hellish even by my standards. This also sent me into sensory overload, which just added to the torture of it all. In the process, I apparently did something terrible to myself below the skin of my abdomen. The first I knew of it was when I woke up after a few hours feeling like someone had attempted to slice open about 4-5 inches of my belly. I read the entirety of the recent Penric plague novel for me to get things back under control enough to steal a couple more hours of sleep. The injury still hurts when I move or anything touches it and it looks nasty. I will see if I can see a doctor, which gives you an idea how nasty the thing looks and feels. I burned my finger making dinner and ended up icing my stomache which helped some, as did scaling up my pain meds.

It worries me when I don't recognize a new thing that has gone wrong with my body.

On the upside, I did not break any toes last week and it turned out to be less damage than last time I damaged those particular toes. Was it last spring? So that was nice.
