Ive stopped pressing the painkiller button, after being practically addicted to it yesterday ( even though it made no difference when I did press it )
My 10 inch diagonal wound across my stomach is hurting less, though not so much that I can cough, so I’m doing a sort of half cough that they taught me – like when you go ‘ huh ‘ to steam up a window.
It’s not very effective at coughing up chest secretions til you’ve huh’Ed about 20 times, and even then a bit crap.

And it’s just gone into bloody overdrive and I can hardly breath due to the pain.

Right, 50 mins later and I’m back. That was bad, another nebuliser, just out of the blue. Chest completely congested and crackling very loudly. More blood taken, more needles etc etc

Didn’t move much today, I’m not allowed.
Thanks to Jeremy Day, Toby Strauss, Lalbag, Cherie Howe and Clair Mason for coming.

There’s uncertainty as to the provision of rehab. My Desai, he in charge of it, says it’s essential for me to relearn my chair stuff with the new inflexible spine, which’ll make everything harder, but my insurance are contesting that, which he isn’t impressed by.
