Sunday

Yesterday afternoon was really painful. I had some, what seemed like, major muscle movement which caused a lot of pain along with difficulty getting my lungs and ribcage to move along with the new deeper breathing. Did not want to get up this morning but I took a little extra oramorph from my few days extra supply and waited. Had to wait to take that ofcourse as Sunday is bone sparing pill day .. the one ... you have to wait half an hour after taking it before you can eat/drink/take anything but water to make sure it's absorbed properly .. also have to sit up or walk around for half an hour. I chose to sit for most of the time. I think that's to make sure it goes right down to your tummy. You should drink a glass of water with it too.

The extra bit of morphine helped a lot .. if it carries on I'll get in touch with the hospital. Never know quite how long this is going to last ... suppose it's generally about three days for the muscles to get used to their new movement and flexibility.

Just taken my second lot of pain relief for the day.

Not sure how the new medication's going for the person I mentioned .. there has been a little relief so let's hope it gets a lot better in the next few days .. it might just be that he needs a higher dose of medication before things improve a lot more.

Have been listening to Quicksilver Messenger Service .. arguably the best rock band of the 60's.

In quiet(er)(ish) mode.
