Pain Level at this time is 3.
The pain has subsided a bit now as this has been a far from pleasant period. I was at the club on Tuesday night and was really looking forward to battling against Paddy. However the fun began when everything was set up and the back nudged me.
"Are you trying to enjoy yourself Phil? Well feel this"
Wham, both my Right leg (Right leg never gets a bad one?) and my left arm and shoulder. I felt like a harlequin!
I had to come home and take my sleeping tablets yet again... I am seriously annoyed by that.
However, last night I managed to sleep without pain killers and that was nice. I woke at 4:30 but was able to get back to bed and I actually was able to lie in a reasonably comfortable position, not getting up until almost 7. Yes I said 7! Nice, in fact I could not believe it...
I have finished the first part of my TMA01 for the Open University, but I'm still tweaking. I have enjoyed it so far and I'm looking forward to the Tutorial... The question was set at 500 words and I have managed 504!
I am also getting the mailing, at last, for the MS Office 2010 promised. But have not yet heard from the people about the drive for my computer.
Ah well you can't have everything!
Yesterday my dearest got her new phone and she is so pleased! The thing is pretty good, as it is the HTC Desire. I wouldn't mind one myself, but that is a bit silly. Even paying the extra cost of 'as you go', last month was expensive at about six quid! Which is high for me. So going for anything like the contract Denise has would be daft and not economical! Ah well, must be because no body loves me enough to call me! ;-)
An ex Lab Technician, Production Control Engineer, TA Soldier, Cook, Electronics Maintenance Engineer and Teacher. Now I'm an Arts student with the Open University. I never expected that.
The Future
I once read that you should take each day as comes. I never fully realised what that meant until I managed to get my head straight again after my Implant on 20/01/09. A massive reduction in Oral Painkillers! I now can take each day as it comes, as the brain is working again!
Some days are bad (physically) and some not so bad. But each day is an adventure and I intend to make the most of it, no matter how I'm feeling. Another saying may be applicable - Don't let the bastards get you down! I will not let my handicap get me down.
I now find myself looking forwards to each day, no matter how I'm feeling, as it's pointless looking back, so I'm taking each day as it comes. The Good and the bad.
Pain Scores are all measured out of 10. With 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain imaginable.
