Well l am not right. I have had my bladder scan and not quite sure what is wrong but l just feel not right.

Well I am still waiting for a bladder scan so hopefully it will happen today. Besides that my back is really hurting so I’m still waiting for the Codydramol to hit the spot.

Well I have been up for an hour and there’s things happening but I don’t know what time. I think the District Nurse is coming today to give me a bladder scan at home but I will wait and see.

Not much happening but just normal lifetime things are quite thought provoking. So it’s one day at a time.

I have been in a very strange place and I am very slowly getting back to normal l think. I believe what I have been going through has been the morphine I have been taking for my fractured spine and it has been an absolute nightmare. I’m hoping that as soon as the morphine clears from my system then I’ll start to feel more like it. I also believe it has been affecting my bladder as well. Absolute hell!

Usually I am very efficient when it comes to noting down when I took my different meds but at the moment…

I had to be up early and take in a delivery of meds. I had a few sips of wine with my food and about to read my New Statesman. Will see how I get on.

I don’t know what is going on with me at the moment but every day is a lifetime and every hour is a very long time. No idea what happens next so I will just have to wait and watch and see.

I have been pretty disoriented and nearly ended up at A & E this morning. Eventually decided it was the morphine sulphate which I have now stopped taking. Codydramol is on its way so I have taken some from left overs a few weeks ago. Hopefully things will settle down soon.

My iPad did all sorts of things today and I didn’t think I would ever get back to normal. But I’m having a try and keep everything crossed for now.
