Paresthesia

.
.
The last few days my lungs have burned.  That has improved a bit.  I no longer feel as if I am breathing hot, fresh, coals.  Today, a new little thing.  My upper back, shoulders, and down into my arms, down to the elbow... my skin in those places feel as if I have been in the sun too long.  The burn is mild.  I researched lungs, then skin, burning sensations, and of all the possibilities, it seems paresthesia is the most likely cause.  What is happening is my blood flow, in some areas, is reduced.  It is much along the lines of what I suspect causes pain in my organs.  I guess I should have suspected that problem could affect skin and lungs this way, as well.  And I did, I just wanted to find out more about it.  Everything hurts, a bit, it's just the lungs that are the worst.  It's like doing wind sprints you can't get over.  I DID want to stay conscious.

I am hoping to pull myself together and go mess with the water hoses and such.  I'll set the alarm for a couple of hours and... sort of get what I need to go out and do a bit of work.  I cooked beans and rice, which will give me something to eat for a bit.  And I will try to finish off the last of the old dishes that are rinsing then put any new dirty dishes in for a hot soak, perhaps to be tended tomorrow.  No guarantees on any of that, just... goals.

Better, worse, better, worse.  Sleep.  Wake up.  Repeat as necessary.  At least I am pretty sure it won't kill me.  This will only be worth the effort if being awake for it actually shortens the events.  If not, I think I will just let the void take me.
