Injections

Finally thanks to the wonders of medical science I am feeling slightly more comfortable and am able to sit and type this (high as a kite on medication however!). Today I actually managed to get out of my bed before the 4pm "injection" appointment at the hospital and by sitting forwards on a cushion softer than marshmallows am able to park myself in the lounge for a few minutes at a time!

The injection is AMAZING though in itself VERY uncomfortable. The needle is longer than I dare describe for fear of frightening my readers as much as it frightens me!!!! The reason being is that to administer the medication, it has to go deep in to the muscle to be effective! I have been having the injections daily at around 4pm so they are effective through the night when I need the relief the most but hadn't given due consideration to how irritated the muscles would become with the constant interference (even though the nurses alternate between left and right side)..............yesterdays injection was shere AGONY! I ended up not sure what was worse - the back or the injection! It was so bad and cramped for so long that in fact I woke this morning (still under the influence of its magical powers) with the opinion that I'd be better trying without it rather than go through the agony again. That was all well and good until that magic began to wear off and the sacral pain returned with a vengence! Suffice to say I was begging for it at the hospital at 4pm again! I spoke to the Specialist and nurses about the previous days discomfort and they were wonderful - it was decided to try my buttock today which was much easier (probably due to my fat depth in that area!?!?!) I was also given some heavy duty pain relief patches and a pretty heavy prescription for the controlled drug, "morphine". I am not sure if I still have a pain...............wouldn't have a clue in fact........................................................too busy flying with the purple, diamond studded faeries who come visiting me! I simply don't understand why noone else can see or hear them?! In fact, I've noticed people giving me strange looks when I mention them. Perhaps they aren't looking hard enough, or are walking around with their eyes shut because I am sure they are here............! On that note.............I'll leave you to see if you too can see them.............
Bye for now! x
