More action today! My son was in his usual slot--'ring mum from car whilst commuting' and we were chatting when call came through on landline--McMillan nurse to ask about pain, what I'm taking, how to take it, maximum dosages etc.
She said I'm really on seriously 'low' stuff and we agreed that after excisional tomorrow, on seriously painful lump, am likely to be in even more pain there when anaesthetic wears off, as well as the 'side pain' which stops me lying down comfortably.
So I'm gonna start from now getting up to today's 'maximum' dose, and take 2 diazepam tonight (that adds uo to a whole 4mg!).
She said sleepiness may be a problem----oh YES, PLEASE!
Want to sleep like a log, if only for one night and drift happily and dozily into the hospital tomorrow (which has just closed 2 more wards because of Norovirus).
Am hoping to be able to 'fly-up' and hitch a ride on Liz's plane whilst they're cutting into me!!!
