I've stopped counting treatment numbers. Today I was at a setting of 369. It lasted for 48 seconds, which is just starting to feel long. The largest spot on my lower back has been noticeably fading, but the spot on the side of my knee is still the same. I'm getting used to the sensitivity afterwards, but it's still no fun.
Surprisingly, the students have been better than the teachers at dealing with my diagnosis. I really appreciate my students and the humor, silliness, and positivity that they bring to my life. They never once say "how are you feeling" in that I'm so sorry voice. They treat me the same as they always have. Kids are great like that.
