Of course it returned. Friday morning awoke to the left knee to the toes buzzing, and the outside of my right heel as well. Bearable in the sense at least there weren't any jolts in the mix. Until the middle of the show last night, and then the left foot commenced with the electrical jolts. At the cast party met Julie's cousin(?) who has been dealing with neuropathy for 20 years. And she is as chipper as ever. So, I guess it can be manageable, smiling and tingling at the same time! She recommended an inversion table from KMart, only $100. A thought. Found the best way to sleep last night, along with a hydrocodone, was for my feet to be hanging over the edge of the bed propped up. They were cold, but at least nothing was touching them. This morning the right heel and the left toes and ball are in full force. I was planning to go to Hamlet, the opera, at noon, but yeah, sitting in a theater seat for four hours would not be fun. So, the couch and movies and NASCAR for the afternoon. At least I'll have an authentic limp for my character on stage tonight!

What a wonderful week or so. Totally grateful and ecstatic for a week of nothingness. Nothing. No buzzing. No ants. No jolts. Mayhaps the Vitamin D is doing the trick. Then I woke up this morning. Wow, where did that come from? Both knees and the left pointer finger are beginning to buzz. Maybe it will go away? We shall see how this all plays out...

Well now, wasn't that a fun time. Every thing, tingles and jolts, pretty much departed by Thursday. Three solid days, all in one area. That was totally new. "Normally" it is in one spot one day, then off to another spot the next day. Now today, after helping paint the set, no issues. Weird. Usually painting and standing and bending and stretching would set everything off, but nope, not this time. Oh well, enjoy it while it lasts, and keep on continuing to rock Philippians 4! Nap time, and we will see what dancing tonight will do to me...

So instead of departing one region, it visits the entire left side. Shoulder to fingertips, knee to toes. Tingling and numerous electrical jolts. I detest how I allow it to get me all cranky. Listening to co-workers about having a headache, hating having to come to work, bitching about this or that, I just deal quietly as best as possible. All my life, anytime I state the fact of some irritating ache, it's the same -- quit your complaining Kevin! I just want a quiet listening ear or an understanding gentle hug. I'm tired of it all. Hold me Jesus. Off to rehearsal with a happy-smiley facade...

What a day. Simply started yesterday morn with a bit of tingling in my left ring finger. The day progressed and so did the tingling. Today the entire left arm is full of fire ants and random electric jolts. It hurts to close my hand or bend my elbow. Days such these just wipe me out physically. Everything just tenses right up. But, it will be gone in a day or two heading off to another appendage to interrupt. Right? Please?
