Pressing his thumb to his scar only worked so many times, and he couldn't waste it on a small hallucination. He had to save it for the big ones.

-gasp! IT ME (I say I'm doing it to take up all the white noise space in my brain that would be otherwise distracting me from what I'm trying to pay attention to. I heard someone else call that sort of behavior 'putting on the radio for the four year old in your brain' which I loved, too.)

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your comments, since I'm not a knitter myself. Glad to know I pulled it off!
