Well, that was decidedly _odd_. Weeks of managing, at best, a foot-wiggle, and then today I shot to my feet and kicked Marius in the head. Twice. Hurt like a _bitch_ - I'm out-of-shape and my back hates me - but what was really disturbing is that the pain just ... stopped. Like somebody flicked a switch or something.
Does the MMI have the option to act like a pain editor or something? Is this _normal_? Thinking back, I lost sensitivity when I was reacting - it felt a _lot_ like the old system did. Then when I realized what was happening, it felt like it always does - temperature, pressure, etc. That's when I collapsed.
But here's the weirdest part of all. After my little nap (I _love_ the painkillers you guys hand out, really!) I could _move both my legs_. Standing's still a little beyond me, but it's like I'd made a breakthrough or something. Still a little sore in the lower back, but I can swing my legs now, feel pressure, and some ... other things.
I think I need a full diagnostic so we can determine _what happened_. I'd hate for this to be a glitch.
Salaam,

Had a bad morning down in Medical, then I took some of the happy painkillers and a long nap. Woke up, and I've got _far_ more sensitivity and ROM than I had yesterday.
Yeah. And _another_ reaction I think you'll be _very_ interestd in. Freaked me right out once I realized it, let me tell you.
Also - I need to go clothes shopping.
Stop up if you get a break in your schedule - I think we need to talk.
