I was in at 11:30 AM, out by 12:30 PM, felt fine until 4:30 PM — and then I crashed and burned. I suspect a combination of a delayed reaction to the painkillers and the lingering aftereffects of having a gallon’s worth of fear hormones into my brain. Don’t assume I’m fine, just because I’m sitting there quietly while they jab needles and small buzzsaws in my mouth. I’m not. I’m freaking out massively, but showing it helps absolutely nobody.
In other words: my brain has been highly occupied this evening playing Microsoft Jigsaw puzzles. Oh, and I tried Suduko! It’s an interesting brain-teaser, that. Once I understood the basic strategy, at least.
