3 Too Many

“I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let’s face it, friends make life a lot more fun.“ – Charles Swindoll

Bloody sick of these crazy feelings, sleepless nights and just out right worn out. By the end of the week I am ruined and had enough of feeling lousy, and everything. It doesn’t make the weekend anything to look forward to as it generally continues or you have sleep to catch up on. Struggle through the night until thankfully the alarm goes off for time to get up. Head down stairs for breakfast and meds. Not really in the mood to stomach either as nausea is not good. Bloody back pain has been the highlight of the evening. And my head is feeling like it is getting slowly squashed from the inside and more and more pressure is getting applied making it hurt more. Making worse is  I can only take 3 of the pain killers for my back in 24 hours and I have already taken 2 by 6:30 am meaning I have 1 left to taken before 3:30am tomorrow. Going to have to tough it out a bit! Slow getting ready for the day, but manage it and hit the road. Very slow stroll into the office, then faced with both lifts out so have to trudge 5 stories up the building, and are already struggling to move. I will not take that third pill!!! Make it to my desk – what a bloody struggle! Go get a coffee and sit down to recover at my desk. Taking longer to regain my breath and energy these day’s.

I got a call from the hospital Radiology department today wanting to make another appointment for another MRI. They said that the one I had was the wrong type so they need to redo it the correct way this time. So booked for next Tuesday again. 2 hours in the scanner this time – yipee! I’ll get a good sleep in. What a waste of money doing the wrong scan the last time, especially when I even queried it with them the last time. Oh well long as they do it right this time, and I get the answers I need about my head and back.

Have a not to bad a day at work, then head off about 1 pm. Get home and into more pain relief. Then head off to a meeting at 3 pm. All goes brilliantly. Try to watch the Rugby while doing the blog see we were out for dinner as it is out 16 anniversary today. Head too Joyful restaurant with the boys in Riccarton. Have a good feed and fun time with the lads. Good idea eating with chopsticks as no need to involve Wilson so no cutlery. Head home then for Milo s and to watch the Rugby. Manage to sort of watch the Rugby game and have a cold Milo for M&D time. Lose the Rugby bugger it. Do M&D time with the cold Milo then finish the blog.  Take my last  back pain meds then head for bed before the pain meds kick in and do their party trick of putting me to instant sleep. Thank you to everyone that has  emailed or text today- sorry I haven’t gotten back to you all, it’s been a busy sore wee day. So how has everyone else’s day gone? Hope it has been a good one with fun and laughter. Have a great weekend do lots, make heaps of memories as they are the most precious asset you’ll ever own. Take care all, I’m thinking of you all – honestly I do think about all of you. Take care.

Kia Kaha.
