I had a bad night last night so I upped my dose of tramadol. The doctor said I could if I needed it and I have resisted - taking just the minimum dose to try and help the nights and grinning (well kind of) and bearing it during the day. I didn't sleep again and didn't want another day of pain so took extra this morning. My oh, my. The pain is almost gone (I mean I know it hasn't gone but I guess it just blocks the pain receptors so you don't feel it) but oh my do I feel peculiar. Vaguely nauseous, very sleepy and so spaced out. It is NOT a feeling I like and not sure I want to repeat the process again. It was nice to be pain-free but then I am also of the opinion that the pain is there for a reason, partly to remind you to be careful about what you do, and I could do without the spaced out feeling. Tis powerful stuff though. Maybe it will mean a decent night's sleep though ... I am planning on going to bed very very early. Let's maximise on the tiredness effect
Last night we went down to the beach to see the blood moon. Of course, we saw the exact same thing as most people in the UK. Nothing! After weeks of no clouds, the cloud cover was thick and we saw nothing. Did have a nice sunset and a good long walk though.
I finished a painting I have been doing today ... just for fun and because I fancied painting somewhere local
The colour looks much nicer in real life but it has been quite cloudy today to take photos. Cloudy and - we have had rain. I am guessing less than a millimetre but heck - more than we have had in weeks and weeks. And more is forecast tomorrow,
I also made another page for Summer Fiesta over at For the Love of Pretty paper. I am afraid I couldn't resist the title
Today I am thankful for
- the tablets working - but not the spaced out feeling
- a quiet day
- cooler weather and a teeny drop of rain
- my wonderful husband who is being an absolute star helping me with the things I cannot do at the moment
and some pictures taken at just the right time
It really Makes you feel dopey think it is morphine based or something like it and some people can’t take it as it makes them feel or be sick I ended up taking one Tramadol and one paracetamol
