I laughed. I cried. I cheered. I talked back to the audio book.
I had chronic pain in middle school for months and months from IBS, an ovarian cyst, and never actually fully answered causes. I know what it is to rely on doctors who said your pain was all in your head 'cause if it was real, they'd have diagnosed and fixed it already.
I also love cats. And horror with a queer twist.
So, of course, I loved The Scald-Crow by Grace Daly.

Indoor track run. Debated running outside, but the wind started to pick up, and rain was in the forecast (plus random ice and ICE). I figured out the foot pod, so the Garmin is tracking my track runs inside now, somewhat accurately it seems.
Hoping to get back to 5 days of running in a week (probably not this one, lol), my health is not doing so great; cholesterol and BP are high, and asthma and chronic pain have been a bit of a struggle. I weigh more than I have ever weighed in my lif…

Sometimes I try to alleviate the pain by lying face down on a bed. Lately as soon as I do this there’s a cat on my back providing pressure and heat therapy. (And occasional acupuncture!)

Bra artikel kring Modicförändringar och antibiotikabehandling.
De är dock lite för diplomatiska om du frågar mig. Det stinker "vi vill tjäna pengar på vårt påhittade koncept" här tycker jag. Den här behandlingen marknadsförs också på tveksamma sätt via influensers på social medier redan idag.

The calls to 911 poured in from staff at "Camp East Montana" in Texas,
the nation’s largest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility,
at a rate of nearly one a day for five months,
-- each its own tale of pain and despair.
A man sobs after being assaulted by another detainee.
Another bangs his head against the wall after expressing suicidal thoughts.
A pregnant woman complained of severe back pain and also had coronavirus.

911 calls reveal pain, despair at ICE'S largest detention camp
The calls to 911 poured in from staff at Camp East Montana, the nation's largest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility, in its first months of operation in El Paso, Texas. The emergencies included repeated suicide attempts by detainees, seizures, injuries from fights and a pregnant woman in pain. Data from more than a hundred 911 calls obtained by The Associated Press, interviews with detainees and court filings offer a portrait of overcrowding, medical neglect, malnutriti…

Lazy web request:
I’m trying to find back pain management advice that is based on scientific and medical research, rather than quackery.
I have seen that “The Back Book” from NHS exists, but it’s from 2005.
Anyone have an up-to-date, credible resource on back pain management to recommend? Thanks.

The EMC disk shelf decided it wanted to ramp the fans to "taking off the flight deck of an aircraft carrier", so I decided to updated all the Proxmox nodes, the NAS, and then power cycle the EMC disk shelf.
Fortunately, that worked and everything is back online. Definitely a pain in the ass though...

Wow… Google fined a whopping $68 MILLION DOLLARS for eavesdropping on people’s spoken conversations. That’ll teach them! It’s going to take Google a whole hour and a half to make that money back. I guess they won’t be pulling shit like this anymore after feeling that sort of pain. We really showed ‘em this time, eh? https://

> She screamed the twin screams of orgiastic pleasure and unknowable pain as the leathery bat wings sprouted from her back, flapping into the New York air and lifting her torso from her legs, which fell onto the coat below her.
Melania: Devourer of Men (2018) is... ok. It could be a fun movie, maybe a rhythm game

Back and leg pain was terrible from around 4am to 11am but I managed to get moving after that and doing some kitchen work helps distract me from the pain... I still feel a little dizzy, but whatever.
So I am attempting a "tavern style" pizza today, the "other" Chicago style, a thin, cracker crust. (Also St. Louis or Milwaukee style to some folks.)
I'll report back on my results after lunch, unless I fall asleep again from the medication.

Welp, my back is banjaxxed.
Had pain last week, but heat patches sorted it by Wednesday.
It has been fine for the last few days
Until today when I lifted a bucket of coal and I near collapsed with the shooting pain.
Good thing I bought extra heat pads...

... That would make working remotely pretty easy. With my house at the back of the lot and the neighbor's house at the front of the lot, I have started thinking about the idea of building a new house in the front yard and then having the current house declared an ADU by the city. I could build the house of my dreams in a neighbourhood that I like, rent the old house out to offset the cost, and hopefully come out the other end without too much pain. ...

The latest pain report is that the new medication and increased old medication may be working because the last two days I managed to sleep until 5am (instead of 3am) and the pain hasn’t been as bad.
10 more days until my next appointment where they electrify a needle inserted into my back.

I’ve never had proper back pain in my life, but today? Ugh 😩

Fuck! The pain is so intense I had to go lie in bed with two heating pads. I was lying flat on my back trying to assemble USB controllers but I could only get a few done. 😩
