Woke up his morning in an incredibly contorted position and stiff as a board. Once I'd managed to disentangle myself from my duvet and sit up with many an "argh!" I realised that either my back was not as sore, or I was still stoned, either way things felt a bit better. Hobbled of to the loo, and went downstairs to get coffee, cornflakes and pills ( Read more... )

The mix of drugs I took last night - pethidine, naproxen, diazepam, buspirone, and teh usuals, knocked me out for a good 12 hours.

bed undisturbed don't think I moved at all, back easier today so took half doses of the narcotics.

still stoned

I've just had to look up what CD stands for on medication. I know what POM, GSL, P, PML stand for but CD was a new on on me, it stands for Controlled Drug. If I start posting crap [no change there then - Ed] blame the mix of pethidine and diazepam.

I'll see you all on the flipside.

Pain is much worse today. Got appointment with doc later this afternoon. Not sure what they can do on a Friday other than feed me narcotics in the short term. Eaten too many sherbet lemons now feel sick.

I shall now attempt to get downstairs and make coffee.

Hot bath = good
illicit drugs = wonderful
hot water bottle on back = bliss

At 4:15 this morning I roused from sleep with very severe chest pains that radiated thought to my back, and changed in intensity with breathing. As these didn't ease quickly I got up and phoned NHS Direct, just getting the phone handset left me breathless ( Read more... )

As I was walking home from Hartford station my neck went "clunk" and locked up solid I couldn't move my head at all. Also just for fun I couldn't actually feel my fingers.
