I'm so glad B's got some relief.  Also miffed on his behalf that it's taken this long.  But glad it's happened, none the less.  Still sending 'bye, bye, itchiness' thoughts your way xx

Itch is still here; just getting better. Only downside to B's dosage adjustment, is he's sleeping a lot. Fell asleep at 8 last night (about) and he is still sleeping at 8 this morning. His body might be adjusting... we'll see. He reports the pain level dropped about 50%, so that's responsible - no doubt - for his more active & aware presence the past couple of days. With my itch, I definitely relate to how something physical that's constant, can take over one's brain. It is possible to "shut it out" to focus on needed tasks... but it's time-limited and uses more energy.

I'll text nurse on Monday to report observations and thank her for trying to find a way to help, when the docs aren't even trying.

I checked reviews and not for me, though I appreciate the scene setting in land much like my mother grew up in (and survived) in the mid 1920s. Those storms.

It's odd how I have a great appetite for complex international thrillers like Bourne, Ludlum, LeCarre, etc, and violence at least nominally in service of justice scratches some itch in me.

But I won't turn one eyeball to films about horror and/or the supernatural. A couple reviews of Breath referred to how much anxiety it produces in viewers and I figured, the world is a horror already in many ways, I think I won't try to absorb more. The headlines are my daily dose of that.

Adolescence was believable, present time, and though sad, valuable. Amazing performances, especially the dad.

But to each their own. You wouldn't believe how much crap I watch these days. Even true crime, which can be horror too, but I guess because those docs normally end in the bad guy being caught, I can pretend there's justice.

What started me....oh, the geezer in the coffee shop. I get it. Entitlement, a lifetime of it likely.

Wow, that is beautiful news.
I'm so happy for you both.
Wish they'd opened the morphine valve for him a long time ago,
but ... the world.

Bless that nurse.

How about your Big Itch, is it better or gone?
That sounded like true torment.

It's harrowing but excellent: Adolescence, on Netflix.

Just finished watching Hold Your Breath, on Hulu.  Had to walk away, more than a few times.  Really difficult to watch, Hops.

That's terrific news, Amber.  Any relief for B  is long overdue.

Will take a look, Amber.

I posted elsewhere about a missed opportunity to practice at the coffee shop.

Old man..... encroaching on our table .....asking to set very close to DD22.....there were other places to sit.

I wish I'd have said no, but he was welcome to the table after we left.

Lessons in motion, for DD and myself.

Rash is getting better; I'm more sure than ever this is an over-active autoimmune response to the original irritant.

And out of the blue, B got a call from his home health nurse. She mostly just refills the pump. But part of her job is engaging with people; hearing their stories; making suggestions that could help. She's been around almost as long as we've been in the stimulator doesn't work saga. She had a sit-down with her manager to talk about what they could do to help, since the surgeon isn't really. Manager must be an MD; he/she said they couldn't just leave him in that much pain and they upped his daily morphine dosage. This was yesterday.

Today, he's more agile, moving easier, and even his speaking is clearer. Which is excellent news! Such a blessing from an unexpected source! He had a bit of a "hangover" once the increased dosage took effect, but it's wearing off and he's clearly more painfree today. Hallelujah!!

Misogyny session with T kicked off early....was upset, before it started, by recent events.....and I limit news..... something slipped in. 

Nutshell....found the angry part ...
in darkness....watery darkness....she gestured around.....not speaking....wanting the situation to be marked and changed.

She stomped, splashing dark water.... she waved her arms.....she sat down.....sank into sadness.

I asked her to join me in the sacred space and she appeared by my side, actually against my left side, attached.  She was very thin....in need of nourishment.

I extended light.... self energy......the part lit up.....glowed....then her face melted into her body...dropping inward....down....I assumed it was thinking giving in to somatic experience.....her body plumped up, as her face melted.  Didn't draw that connection before.

Figured out that angry part/protecting the sad part, has been around 50 years, give or take.  Angry/divorcing father raging at child exchanges...... projecting anger at mother onto daughters, who looked a lot like mum. Angry little man...... no used to not getting what he wanted.  Someone needed to be punished.

 Brought the sadness up....did I want to give it to the water? Fire? Earth? The light?
The light felt right.

Extended light through myself and into the part.....the melted face sizzled into bown black bubbles......smoked.....burned away.....the skin of the body followed, into the light it went ...sucked in......burned....leaving a roughly tween sized transparent body shaped form, no longer attached, at my side.

T encouraged me to bring my thoughts to self energy for now.  To leave action (phone calls to reps) alone for now.

T said the small space, where part was "trapped" was likely trapped in ego.... didn't realize it wasn't alone.  Feels protected now and I should speak to it, rather than from it, going forward.

I felt pressure at the top of my head....ears ringing while giving the sadness to the light....felt like expansion and more access to hearing.

T felt pressure top of her head ...talked about crown chakra.

This was the first, of many, sessions on misogyny.

I had a good Emotion Code appt last night.  Left with a pain top of head, left side.  Didn't last long.  Felt really good, grilled shish kabobs, cleaned and ate with Dd22, brushed and flossed, then slept 8 deep hours.

 Now.....after a walk leading to dinner of 5 more trees across a 3 trails in the woods, bc of high winds..... I'm home and shocked at how very exhausted my neck, shoulders, chest, heart and lungs feel.  And a lottle sore.

I'm moving through my day....but stop to catch my breath. It feels like I'm holding my breath at the bottom of my lungs.....only top lobes  taking in air.

It's evening now....had a productive day, but notice my abdominals and lower back feel fatigued now....also noticing neck, shoulders, and heart feel normal.

I've eaten 3 good sized meals, but my stomach feels empty.....growling most of the day.  Very odd, but not unpleasant.....
decidedly it is pleasant.

Chatted with DD22, about the state of our world, as we had dinner.  She can't eat past 10pm, bc tomorrow's blood draw requires 12 hour fast.

I'm gonna sleep well tonight.
