Life of a former witch

I've outgrown my wicked witch of the west ways. Reflections of life afterwards, living in the desert with two cats, friends, family, and my hot and cold love life.

Okay, I am working on the comments feature (in my spare time...)

Going to FINALLY see "Matrix: Reloaded" in the IMAX theatre on Saturday. I've been looking forward to that for a couple of months. Waiting until now means there's less time to wait until the last movie comes out in November.

I've been thinking about this all week, especially when I'm in a lot of pain. Do I cope better with the pain when it's constant and I know that there's no hope, or now? Considering that I must admit that I do not know if I'm going to have my six month celebration, that doubt puts the idea now that maybe it cannot be stopped and that's it. I've gotten pretty good over the years of talking positive with others (the "How are you?" --"Fine, how are you?" and be miserable the entire time). I am starting to believe that I will be able to have my six month party, but the short spells of intense pain make me fustrated.

I've been having more of the very short spells of pain that last between a couple of seconds to about 5 minutes. I know that the MCS can take a couple of minutes to "equilibrate" and I can figure out how much the pain has decreased. How can I stop the quick blots of pain (that are symptoms of classical TN). Sometimes it can be very fustrating.

Before I head off to do a quick couple of errands, here's a quick article for your reading pleasure.
