i was just sitting here trying to finish my thesis and i felt this sharp stab under my ribs...

I felt it happen last Tuesday during the double-shift, just a sharp poke in the left side of my chest.

I wake up at 3am with the same stiffness in my knees, a grinding of bone on bone that sounds like the old flour mill we used to use. …

I got this knot in my throat that stays there all the time now like a piece of dry bread I cant swallow.
