And it starts...


It started last night as I was getting ready for bed, all set to close my eyes for the night. I set up my pillows like I do, in the same fashion every night. I start by stacking two pillows on the reclining foot of the chair, and adding another large fluffy pillow on top— to mimic a bike jump. Throwing the covers over me in a rather chaotic mess, I felt a little twinge of pain. Felling the pain wasn't the weird part— it was feeling the pain in my left big toe…the one that isn't there.

It was the most outlandish feeling I've ever felt. The ghost tickles and ghost foot falling asleep was weird but nothing like this— it was a much more powerful feeling. The pain was there and it was real. It’s such a crazy idea to wrap my head around. My foot is gone but I still have pain. It was a little frustrating knowing there was nothing I could do about the pain. Thank God it lasted for no more than thirty seconds, but now I know what it is like—and what to expect.

You stay class Tacoma (and surrounding areas)
