Zzzzzzzzz zzz zzzzz zz

Right, I know I'm not getting this right .. but .. I've just taken me MST etc .. and I'm blogging before twelve.


As from tomorrow I'll start doing that before twelve noon okey dokey cokey!!! People are right .. it's the games that take me time up .. the time goes so quickly when you're playing them. One moment it's like eight or so and then suddenly the time's mozzeing along towards the afternoon.


So, in future I'll be here first. lol!!!!! Otherwise .. well, you know .. I'm new to it and still quite fascinated. It's cool though as it helps take me mind off the morning pain .. but thats no reason why I can't potter in here first .. I chat to me mates on there during the morning. I now all me mates want to know is that I'm ok.


I've had quite a good day .. not painwise cause me muscles are still moving. I'm walking better and the breathing's deeper but ofcourse as that happens the new expansion is painful .. but you just have to get on with things .. I'm taking a gram of morphine a day plus other pain relief .. and you can tell by the way my body's reacting to it I guess that the pain is using the morphine up. When I had to go without some of it there were no signs of withdrawal .. just pain .. and I still don't have to use the movicol .. lol!!!! Though the iron pills are back!!! And .. me morphine's gone up since the last time I was taking those!!!! I shall see what happens.

I had an ice cream while I was out today and a cup of hot chocolate. I really like hot chocolate .. not so keen on ice cream .. though this was nicer than most I've tasted since I've been back eating dairy products .. more like I remembered it .. more refreshing than what I had been eating.

I'm off to sleep soon .. its just the pain that keeps me waking up and I can deal with that reasonably well. When I got to sleep last night I had a reasonably good nights sleep. I keep a bottle of oramorph by the bed and mark down as I take it .. I remember anyway but I still prefer to mark anything down as I take it .. there's so much of the stuff.

Me arm's a lot better .. I can lift it a lot higher than I could when it went on me time before last's visit to hospital. till not listening to music though .. don't now why .. I will start again. Maybe tomorrow. Hadn't really been thinking that much about that .. the music or me arm. Though the article about music and strokes has stayed in my mind and I guess its worth trying though me leftsideitis is a bit of an old ongoing problem .. though its never been quite that dramatic before.

I still haven't read the article .. but I will ... lol!! But u know .. I did blog about all that when the UNICEF report came out. Don't think much has happened either way since then ... cept someone said that the French are starting to wonder and worry if the culture is crossing the channel now .. well, the binge drinking part of it. I bought TIME just in time .. I didn't when it first came out .. but I did .. and I have the article saved too .. but still haven't got round to reading it. Think the article was titled something like Why are the Brits afraid of their kids. A pretty dramatic title. Someone mentioned it today again .. something to do with the number of young women binge drinking in this country or something.

Just on a personal level .. and that shouldn't really be a response to the article I guess .. but I really don't like booze or drugs .. never have .. so really I can't see the draw of being that out of ur head .. could always dance or chat the night away without any chemical help. Always thought they put a kind of chemical barrier up between me and my friends .. sort of it was u plus umpteen chemicals instead of just you. What someone said to someone I know who was stopping drinking a few years back too.

I lost friends to drinking and drugs too in different ways .. some died and someone I knew possibly developed schizophrenia thanks to dope .. the timing was right. Though at that time I don't think the evidence linking the two had been found. But, knowing now and looking back, it makes sense.

Anyway .. I'm off to bed now. Midnight looms .. and I said I'd be heading fer bed around then. .. and I will.
