The needles come. Like an old friend she brings the wash of relief that the worst is over. Subsiding slowly; painfully.
I can open my eye now, "Darling can you lower the light please? Thanks" I wisper to my wife.
I'm almost high on the pain free second that comes after 3 quarters of an hour wrestling with a demon in my head, screaming silently using pain as its voice.
Pain free today.
