I think I owe way too many people an apology. Again. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s 9:54 pm on a Tuesday night. I am sick with Covid, so let’s go for it. Not that you need the details, but you’re gettin’ ‘em: Covid exacerbates existing neuropathy and neuralgia as it attacks nerves. I have really bad nerve damage in my right calf and foot from a bad roller derby break over a decade ago (bad is an understatement: my foot was on backwards…it took 3 surgeries to fix it. My doc said it was the worst sports-related injury he’d ever seen, some of my toes don’t work because the li
