Recovery night 2

"Life is a process which may be abstracted from other media." John Von Neumann

Pain is a major part of my life, so pain must be abstractable as well. What is my knee pain without the medium of my knee? Existentialism creeps in where sleep does not.


This post's theme word: anodyne, "relieving pain."

Recovery day 1

There is pain. There is endless talking. My leg is turning yellow in streaks. My moods, I am told, cycle with the level of medication.


This post's theme phrase: "eldrich ersatz insects" (Charles Stross, Accelerando p. 48).
