More attempts to capture and document what different levels of pain look like on me. This is either high seven or low or mid eight. And yet again documenting my appearance at least makes me feel better psychologically, because it gives at least some reason for the pain, like “I can use this to document what it looks like” rather than “This is totally pointless pain that has no purpose” even though the second is technically kind of true. I’m still at the emergency room, the doctor said they are going to do a study to make sure the tube hasn’t slipped around, and as long as it hasn’t they will just maybe give me more Tylenol or something. I’m now waiting for her to consult with another doctor and then get the study started.
