I haven’t read a Koontz book in a while. I just got “The Bad Weather Friend.” Are you a Koontz fan?

That’s a bit harsh. He’s not asking for anyone to meet his needs. Just someone to talk to. It’s human nature. Why do people feel the need to make others feel worse?

Oh yeah! 100% of the time after the injections. It’s like poking a hornet’s nest with a stick. It settles down in about 24 hours. Try taking Tylenol or Aleve after the injection to see if that helps. I ice the area, too, but don’t know if that would work for an ear. Certainly won’t hurt. I...

OK, I don’t see it that way, though and will continue to use it when talking about how suicide touched my life.
