Don't worry about the game playing, real life always comes first (like I even need to say that, doh). As for the doppelganger, one fuzzy face looks pretty much like another and the vacant black eyes are a result of spending over a quarter of a century staring at spreadsheets. The spinal injections sound worse than they actually are. Before the big needle goes in, I get a few local anesthesia shots, so mainly all I feel is pressure. The big needles are inserted with x-ray guidance and my doctor is pretty good at not poking a nerve (that really gets your attention!). This last couple of shots is helping quite a bit at reducing the pain and inflammation in my SI joint or sacroilliac. Before the shots, it felt like a giant ant had caught me around my waste about hip level and was really chomping down! Now it's just a dull ache that I can deal with. Thanks for thinking of me; it seems like there are quite a few people on the wiki suffering from various maladies and the combination of the game and the wiki is a great distraction! 🐨
