I have spent the last few days in a daze; I am in and out of sleep induced by pain relief and relaxants.

I am exhausted. Pain does strange things to the mind.

I get up and proceed with plans. We get out and about, but when it’s close to the afternoon or evening, the discomfort turns to pain.

I take something for the pain. I like to start with something light like paracetamol, but if the pain worsens, then I have no choice but to take one of my stronger choices, and then I’m out.

I fell asleep at 8 pm and woke around 1:30. The pain was still apparent, so I took another pill and slept til 6 am.

I had an appointment at Hurstville at 9 am but knew there was no way I could sit in the driver’s seat that long, so I cancelled the appointment and went to work.

I arrived at work at 8:00 am and was sent home at 8:15.

I’m now at the hospital, and I’m hoping for answers.

There’s only so much more this body can take.
