Comments on: the god of small things http://www.clusterflock.org/2009/01/the-god-of-small-things.html thoughts, questions, original art and content and links to stuff we think is of interest; a group blog dedicated to pretty much everything. by people you would like to meet at a party; proof of intelligent life on the planet; inhabited by Internet hunter gatherers in the pre-apocalyptic realm; a destination that offers constellations of stimulating links to popular (and not so popular) culture; a group blog dedicated to culture: art, design, music, food, architecture, science, travel, movies, books, typography, politics, etc.; inclusive of geezers!; a delightful mixture of orange words and pictures of well, the insides of a stuffed animal–delightful all the same; the social network I never thought I’d join.

And thanks for the info, Kris. The things the nerves are doing are psychedelic. It's good to have some context what's going on. holy shit! And thanks for the info, Kris.

My brother completely severed the nerves (and everything else) on his right arm down to the bone three years ago, and he described the regeneration (a good thing) as excruciating. Six months of constant pins and needles, 24/7. That said, better to be feeling those nerves talking to each other all day and night than not! He's at about 95% capacity now, and they told him best case scenario was 60%, such is the wonder of rigorously following your physio and not over (or under) doing it. One day I will have to share his story of when it happened. It is both gruesome and tremendously funny at the same time. You’re doing great if you can do that already.

I'm coming up on a year of walking on my right foot again after the car accident, and every milestone--from wearing the same size shoe to walking on grass without wincing--has been a blessing. It's still not, and may never be, 100%, but I've made my peace with that to the extent I can. I've never worried about dings in my car. "It's a car!" I tell people, "It's meant to be used. It will eventually be used up, destroyed." I suppose our bodies are the same, though that loss of <i>integrity</i> that comes from breaking one's parts is tough to see past. Good luck finishing that door. Good on ye, man.
