New Puppy!!!
We found ourselves a new puppy today!! He's gorgeous, lovely, wonderful. It took us a while to make the choice, we were hard pressed to not bring two or three with us! But the last boy was chosen in the end.

Sigh
Sorry for the silence again!
Things have been a little frustrating. Suddenly after god knows how many years I seem to have a problem with codeine! Its always been a good drug for me, but I started having a dull aching pain, with one stabbing pain, on my right temple - needless to say this freaked me out as I worried I was becoming bilateral. So having read about re-bound headaches from codeine, I cut out the co-codamol.
So no withdrawal which was nice - but very much increased pain - so at least it was doing something! I went to a new GP (for me, my other one ran away :( ) and as per usual he got bogged down with the whole meds thing and got glassy eyed and freaked. As I was less than my best I ended up coming away with a DX for tramadol 50mg so I can take these rather than the 200mg SR, hoping that the higher profile peaks of this will help. I suspect I'll be back next week. I wish they could just DX me hydrocodone or similar - even methadone, but I think I need a pain expert for that. I'd come off it before the op, but I have to survive the summer first.
Anyway on Monday night I had another really bad do - the one where pure ice on my face hardly interferes with the pain, the 9 1/2 out of 10 pain. It is really intolerable, makes me throw up, and the next day gave me the runs as well. All I can do is survive, even when I don't want to, when I would welcome a knife in my skull. My mum did a bit of Reiki that did help, and I tried to will it away. If you relax it does help a little, but its bloody hard to do that when it hurts so much.
When a similar pain happened to me in the Heath, they kept me in HDU and were frantic trying to get it to go. It responded to something in the end but I can't really remember what it was. I do wonder if calling an ambulance may be an option if it happened again, though I would never cope with a journey. But I always feel that I'm dying for some oxygen when this happens!
All I can be grateful of, is that it NEVER lasts more than 6-8 hours.
Otherwise boys are good, life trundles on, and I had some wonderful friends over for a weekend and it was great (other than another bad do on the Sat pm!). I value my friends and love having them visit, and I'm so grateful for them. They are wonderfully understanding as well.
