The sun has left the North East of England but not without a few good days, I have more colour from my few days at home than my week on holiday
ᅡᅠ The colour helps us look a lot healthier than we are,ᅡᅠ this morning I looked grey and my tan just didn't manage to hide it
During the night I had that terrible feeling of pressure right in the centre of my chest, where my heart should be, which then turned into a weight that was oppressive
ᅡᅠ I was deciding whether to take some morphine from 1
30 am because it just wouldn't let me sleep, but I didn't want to disturb hubby by trying to find it in the dark
When dawn came and it was light enough I took a couple of pills and slept for another couple of hours, pain was still there but at least it eased enough so I had some sleep
ᅡᅠ Maybe stress has helped it along, I returned to work on Monday and ended up doing a long long day, followed by another long and tiring day yesterday
ᅡᅠ The pain kept at it until I topped it up again with some more morphine around 11 this morning, on top of my usual quota of the stuff! Hubby rang me at work to ask if I had a spare 10 minutes as he wanted to show me something, so I grudgingly said ok
ᅡᅠ He picked me up and took me over the fields and saidᅡᅠwhen he had the dogs out just 20 minutes earlierᅡᅠ he had seen a young calf just born to one of the Deer's
ᅡᅠ Both mother and calf were lying in the long grass and he had hoped they hadn't moved
ᅡᅠ We didn't see them but the thought lifted my day
strange how something in nature can help you feel better
After having a few near normal days I think having the pain back so badly makes it feel worse, I just can't win with myself
ᅡᅠ I also read something the other day, morphine does something funny with your liver which in turn produces more bile, so maybe that is what causes my rotten stomach feeling in the morning
ᅡᅠ Some mornings (not many) I don't feel as bad, so maybe my morphine requirement fluctuates quite a bit, who knows but then how can you monitor whether you need 10 ml less or 10 ml more on a day to day basis? To add more disturbance to our daily lives, Lexi is back in season and these next few days areᅡᅠ hormones alive, he is already giving it the hip movement to fresh air and she is pushing her bottom in his direction
a lot of sleepless nights ahead as she will no doubt sneak down stairs to be with him
talk about teenagers, dogs are just as bad! Hopefully the rain will stop shortly as I would like to have a wander back over the woods to see if the Deer has returned to our area
I hope my body isn't turning the clock back to fast and this pain is going to become regular and bring about along those heart attack pains I went through from 07 until the heart sac (pericardium) was removed
Still no further information either on whether Dr Abtin will have company from Harefield to watch the wonders of cryoablation on mesothelioma
ᅡᅠ I am still hoping they may invite him here
ᅡᅠ At least I know for sure that flying to LAᅡᅠwon't do my lung any good
Hope you are having a better day than me
