Cold Comfort

I’m on a new painkiller. It is to alleviate the discomfort of compressed nerves. My doctor said that the medication is connected to my brain to deaden the pain.

I now have the disconcerting habit of starting conversations without segues which seems to confuse people as they have no hinterland to my stories. I have the same problem with jokes which are not funny, upsetting people.

This morning I started to write drabbles again and to my horror the words on my iPad were so jumbled that autocorrection couldn’t sort them out. My back pain’s gone but my Brian’s confused.
