253 - I've been to the doctor, and he said

I’ve just been to the doctor, and he said
It’s either stress or it’s an infection
Affecting muscles. But he put to bed
My worries about blood circulation.
I feel at ease; he’s relieved the tension,
At least in part. This gradual malaise
Has slowly grown; I paid no attention
For weeks, but had strange aches and pains some days,
In arms and legs and neck. Not just a phase
As I had hoped, for recently it’s led
To pain and numbness when typing. To shun
The keyboard can’t be done. My books, my plays,
My office work! I think this stress was fed
By sleepless nights. Roll on, relocation!
