I have just got home from work and rammed as many painkillers down my throat as I could reasonably expect to swallow without an ensuing stomach-pumping. Fucking hell. Yesterday when they dressed the wound they appear to have touched off a nerve. I thought that it would be better once the wound was re-dressed today but despite the nurse attempting to be gentle, I have searing pains from the wound going up my back and I can barely walk. I only have enough painkillers to get me through to my appointment with the surgeon at 6:00 tomorrow evening, at which time I will politely ask for a significant additional quantity and quality. From what the nurses have been saying I might also find myself chewing on antibiotics once again. I hardly slept last night. I have a really heavy meeting first thing tomorrow and a large complex new case to deal with tomorrow as well. I am becoming just a little frustrated. I am also the size of a very large balloon, you know the ones they used to stop dive bombers - barrage balloons, that's the ones - and need to stop eating completely. Oh the joys of life.
