I've had a few days on the oral morphine to see whether consistency of taking it would provide pain relief. It does help with pain in general and it also helps in making sure that I sleep soundly. However, it's of absolutely no use for its primary function, which is to help with pain when I am eating.
The last couple of days have been a nightmare for eating because the problem has got so bad that the foods I was relying on for calorific value are now too painful to eat. I am not moaning here because I don't mind how much pain I have to endure as long as I come out in one piece at the end of the "sausage machine. I also have one more trick up the sleeve which is to use a heavy duty antacid solution that they gave me months ago. I have started on this today.
If that does not ease things then I will have to resort to a feeding line as the weight is falling off me again.
Whatever it takes to get me through this period when the oesophagus is inflamed is all that matters but I am now really looking forward to some calmer waters. I have really dug in over the last month and now feel that I deserve some respite. I also feel that my little family deservez it too.
