Manageable but….

Today has been better than I expected. Drugs kept most symptoms at manageable level. Still feel quite spaced out, bad stomach and sore.

I have kept to myself for most of the day. I find conversation really grating today, like running your nails down a black board. Best avoided. Don’t know why, just is.

I strolled around the block this afternoon with all the retirees. There are plenty in Camberwell. It was good to get out of bed.

Watched a movie which started with great promise but dwindled and disappointed in the end. It was “Hereafter” directed by Clint Eastwood.

Hoping tomorrow will bring improvement (and tolerance for people).

Happy Birthday Insider

It’s Petra’s birthday today. Woke early with the kids to give gifts and cards. A bit low key but it was good. Mother in law and father in law with us at the moment so they joined in.

Petra is out today with friends for coffee etc and then other female fun stuff for the afternoon.

House is empty which is nice. Kids at school and in laws out somewhere.

I am sleeping, reading, listening to audio books, popping pills and resting. Want to be able to be up for an early family birthday dinner tonight.

Loving my iPad at the moment as its a great window to the world. TV is killing me.

Dog is loving it and I am breaking all the rules as it is sleeping on the bed with me.
