2025-10-10 (Friday) — Aches and Pains

(written on the 22nd from notes taken previously)

I don’t remember much of anything from today. 😕

It did have a pain on my head that I didn’t mention. Just about at my hairline above my ear, just barely brushing my finger across the skin, and it feels like somebody’s jabbing me with a knife. Like there is an open flame touching my skin right there?

Super weird. It took a little video recording of that spot with my finger pointing to where it hurts, and there’s nothing there.

Nothing.

It’s not discolored, no scabs, no ingrown hairs or zits or anything like that.

😶

I can feel just the slightest little bump there, but there’s zero discoloration of any kind whatsoever.

I ended up going out to rover, grabbing my hair clippers, and just shaving the hair away on that side down to the skin. When I did, Hans was able to see the tiniest little mark right at the spot that hurts so much.

But what on Earth could it be?

So weird.

So there’s some wacky crazy sharp pain that’s elicited simply by gently brushing my finger across the skin on that part of my head, and if that weren’t enough, my teeth hurt all day today–all day 🙃. It was bad enough that I decided to go take a gander with a light in the mirror, and lo and behold, it looks like the filling, or I should say one of the fillings that was put in a few months ago has already been worn down further than the original tooth that was there.

😶

Ugh.

So I called the emergency line and left a message for the dentist on call in the hopes that I could get an appointment before I left for Utah to see the skin cancer doc, so I’d feel better about my upcoming New Zealand trip.

I imagine I did something useful today, but I don’t remember what it was.

😕

Lift the world.

Bring it on.
