No Pain, No Gain

I've woken up this morning to an intensification of the pain that I was experiencing yesterday though in some respects things are better.

There is more continual pain, which the morphine can deal with and there is slightly less pain when I am eating.  That's good because it is only when I am eating that the pain becomes a problem.

What is also good is that the pain is sharply focused on the main tumour area.  If you feel the point at the centre bottom of your rib cage that is where it comes from i.e. the solar plexus area.  The pain pumps out in all directions from there.  Why is that good?  Welll simply because I assume that the radiotherapy is getting on with what it is supposed to be doing and I signed up for it without reservations.

On a humorous note, I am still hugely drawn to fruit based foods but cannot eat them  (not even my beloved trifle).  The pain from acidic foods is immediate and uncompromising but I can't stop myself from trying.

There are some tinned apricots opened in the fridge and I poured a little juice from the apricot bowl into a glass this morning just to see if I could handle it.  The results reminded me of this old Kit Kat advert.  The sound on the video is quiet so turn your volume up to hear the moth.
