I woke up yesterday with a strong pain in the middle of my chest. The normal background painkiller had little effect.
I struggled with it for the morning and even joined Kitten in picking up the children from their sleepovers. In fact, if it had not been for the pain, I would have been feeling in reasonable shape. However, I succumbed to it after lunch and retired to bed. I self-administered oral morphine to try and disperse the pain, or at least relax me. This may not seem like the wisest choice but I was faced with something new just before having two scheduled meetings (on Tuesday) to discuss my condition.
I have an appointment at the Marsden on Tuesday at midday and one at the hospice at 2.30pm.
The oral morphine has not completely alleviated it but it has dispersed it in part and made it more tolerable. It has, however, left me with an overall drowsiness but it is better that than the strong pain that I was experiencing.
The pain could have been caused by anything but I will discuss it and see how best to deal with it come Tuesday afternoon.

ReplyDeleteI am thinking of you and your family. I hope you can get back on an even keel. The sun has just started to shine here, I hope it is where you are. I hope you enjoy some time with your Mum. Please keep fighting.
I hope you are more comfortable today, and the pain has gone.

Feeling comfortable is key, I think anyone would self-medicate in a scenario like this one. It can also be a bit scary when this sort of thing happens and getting some respite can also help with the mental aspect of it. I hope that tomorrow you will receive the necessary assistance to deal.
