Bulimic_Fraggle
I am still in a ridiculous amount of pain, but it doesn’t seem like such a big deal now, as I plan to spend the next few days laying in the shade watching the Ashes.
I am currently on 60mg of Codeine 4 x a day (on bad days, I can usually manage with less) as well as paracetamol and Naproxen. Add in my sleep meds, anxiety meds, stomach meds and they could save a fortune!
What really upsets me is that a shittonne of medical grade cannabis is grown in the UK, but it all - or at least most of it - is exported.
Unfortunately I am not really in a financial position to do that. Many years ago I complained to my GP that a lot of my problems could be helped by cannabis, and he completely agreed! It was before any usage was approved in the UK, and he is retired now.
Until cannabis is available on an NHS prescription, it will remain on my wishlist. Daft really, they could save a fortune on my other meds.
Despite all my good intentions my pain levels are really bad right now. Not sure if it the heat or if my body is just reminding me that it doesn’t have to use my stomach to make me miserable.
As such, I will be stuck inside today, if I attempt to get sunscreen between my shoulders I this state I might end up in A&E. Wish the cricket were starting today instead of tomorrow, that would be a perfect excuse to not move at all. Also, I have some “ripen at home” plums I bought three weeks ago, they would be perfect for the nets…
I have completed an entire month of self care and being sensible. The biggest reward for this is that I haven’t thrown up in a month, but one of my goals had a specific reward - if I don’t have an alcoholic drink for 1 month I can reward myself with Sky Sports Cricket, for the Ashes. I only went and did it!
