At least I've stopped itching...

[brightlotusmoon]

I got some words of sympathy from some coworkers who had noticed how badly I'd been limping, and I even got to share a joke with one about my Dancing With The Stars dream being over. Haze of painkillers and pain that kept breaking through, and I surprised myself by still being mentally sharp and able to breeze through the day, and before I knew it five-thirty had arrived and I hobbled to the elevator gratefully. Knowing that someone understood how I was hurting made me feel comforted.

Adam won't be home from New York until well after midnight. We hope he will have the weekend off.

I am going to work on my novel, take a bunch of supplements, play with my cats, drink a smoothie, watch "Lost," and go to bed early. I hurt too much to do much else.
