Bit of a busy week! Monday, made it to town to pick up some things needed for holiday and change sterling to Euros
Tuesday--Optician's in the morning, then back in time for a visit from Denise, McMillan nurse--more discussion on pain--he's titrated the 30mg slow release morphine, twice a day, to 40mg, twice ans said to take the Sevredol (10mg) every 4 hours for breakthrough pain. I've also to add in 3, 400mg Ibuprofen as some of the pain may be irritation/muscle-related (Oh boy, do I get irritated!)
She also asked if I liked a drink--said a glass of wine on the plane with a Sevredol should make for a more comfortable journey--LOL! Yesterday was what we now call 'The Drug Run'--picking up prescription and getting it filled (LIz, you have no idea how useful your advice about a pre-payment certificate has been). Doctor also gave me letter saying why I will be carrying controlled drugs aboard an aircraft! (Although the plum sticking outside the side of my neck might just be a good visual clue!)
Today it was trip to Accounts at the hospital to pay
