Went for my third fill (two tuesdays ago now, sorry for the delay) and took 2 dihydrocodeine in anticipation before setting off. Felt like I floated the whole way to Nelson Community Hospital (and that's not a sentence I ever thought I'd say.) Told nice lady surgeon about previous post-fill hell and we decided on 60mls to take me up to 250mls. More than half way. Felt fine afterwards, decided to treat ourselves to a McDonalds breakfast...then half way home the pain started...and didn't stop for 48 hours. I had to take 2 days off sick. I puked so many times I lost count, couldn't even keep water down. Jesus. It still feels sore and uncomfortable. The good thing is that due to Easter my fourth appointment is 4 weeks from the third one so that might give my poor pec time to settle. Been massaging it with acqueous cream and bio oil in the hope that that'll help some. Big sigh. Still, only 150mls and three more fills to go. If I can manage 50mls a time that is...need better painkillers for next time. Anyone got any painkiller advice? For nerve pain? I'll give you a big kiss if you have.
Got an email from university this week saying I've got a big fat fail. Should have had exam and case study submitted in December but deferred due to Mrs P dying. I can void the mark and sit the exam and submit the case study NEXT MONTH. That's, like, next month. Hell. What's better, a fail because you don't sit the exam or a fail because you do? What a quandary.
It's absolutely beautiful outside and I have to go into work this weekend. Can you imagine how happy that makes me feel? Can you?
Bah!
