In the spring of 2015 I experienced the first of multiple surgeries and hospital visits for some spinal injuries. No big deal, I lived and I’m not paralyzed. However, before that, while the doctors and neurologists were trying to figure out what was wrong, I was prescribed a bevy of pretty powerful pain killers. My befuddled brain answered this circumstance with odd drawings and twisted rhymes. #digitalArt #comics #mastoarṭ #illustrations #painmeds #spinesurgery #throwbackthursday

I imagine there are some other folks on here who keep a file of papers to convince skeptical colleagues that, yes, you really can use ecological momentary assessment, even in that sample?

Here's another example: Folks waiting for spinal surgery

These folks are often in a lot of pain and having a lot of trouble, but they liked EMA just fine.
