The Maudlin Press

So.. Its been a little over a week now. Jack and I are completely sick of each others faces. While she has been healing, I have been taking care of her. She is supper appreciative, and I love doing it, but it means that we have pretty much been in the house, in the same room for 8 days. Enough is enough.

The problem was that the laproscopic surgery punched some holes in her stomach muscles. This has made anything involving using your abdominal muscles near impossible. She has recovered to the point that she can walk and get up from most seats on her own. Sitting is pretty good as well.

I’m back at work today, and all is well.

It turns out there is a neurological explanation for why people scratch and cut themselves, and spank each other for pleasure. Inflicting small amounts of physical pain, whether from scratching your skin vigorously or doing something more extreme, deactivates the parts of your brain associated with unpleasant or painful emotions…..
