First, the only time I was in the car was for very short rides or when I went to the doctor. 99.6% of my time was spent in the house. I thought that I’d lose my patience with traffic pretty fast, but for the most part I’m pretty chill (I have my moments, of course). The last show was done completely on the road, and it’s been a lot of fun getting back to that.
Right now, the toughest part is that it’s just not quite done healing, so the dressing is uncomfortable. And there’s just a tiny bit left – the bottom part (slightly lower than where my belly button was) is big around as a pencil, and the top part (two inches or so below my sternum) is a little thinner than a piece of like, Orbit gum. Seriously they’re just superficial at this point. The bottom one is what’s giving me shit, though – just won’t seem to go ahead and heal over.
