....I had forgotten how painful this is. At least I didn't have to go through the actual burning process all over again. Just wake up and there they are. Needless to say, I won't be getting out of bed anytime soon until this is all over. It's too painful to move very much....I really wish Lisa were here...she was scared of me, but she took really good care of me.
I trust that the rest of you are all right? Xulchibara, I could feel your strength waning. If you need to rest or take a break, go ahead. I can handle the pain if you need to rest....Ran, look after him for me, okay?
I won't be taking any visitors for three weeks. The only one whom I will permit to see me in such a condition is my Guardian. Everyone else, just....please stay away. I'm embarrassed, shamed...but for Rose, Sharon, and Christopher, I would endure this pain all over again.
