    Hi Tony
    Great to see you posting again.....Hopefully you will be out this afternoon......There's nothing like your own home when you arent feeling great.
    How much mophine are you on? Thats the first I've had it.....I take naproxen and paracetamol as well
    Take care and do your physio when you are fit enough
    Love
    Hileena

    another quick hi.
    Or should that be high, I've had to have two lots of morphine so far, but I've managed a few steps with the crutches.. boy is it telling :eek: in a lot of pain... I'm hoping it eases and soon, wanna be going home this afternoon.. They might not let me though..

    I'll post again later. Sorry, forgotten who'd asked about the morphine (blame the stuff itself)
    Not too sure, it's liquid, they just pop a syringe full in mi cake hole n I swallow it.. Quickly followed by a drink of lemon n lime flavoured water as the stuff don't taste wonderful..

    R :shock: :shock: :lol: ight, I'm away with the fairies for a while

    Hi Tony

    Really hope they let you home soon (hopefully with some of that morphine to at least take the edge off the pain).

    Thinking of you.

    Love Tillyxxx

    I must admit the liquid stuff suits me more than the tablets.. Bit groggy with it but the tablets made me feel so ill.. I was very weary yesterday when they gave me it. I've had the liquid stuff many moons ago but couldn't remember how I was with it.

    Anyways.. Thanks again for the messages, off to sleep soon so will bid you all a goodnight. Just gonna pop over to chit chat to do the same..

    Night folks, sleep well.

    Good morning all.
    Thanks Hileena.. I guess the liquid stuff must be totally different to the tablet form. I know one thing, I ain't taking them again, lol.

    It's rather early but I've been awake a while. Had what I assume was a fire alarm tester going off half an hour ago :roll: :shock: :eek: :lol: That woke us up... Lol
    Not been able to get back to kip since. Will try for a bit more sleep in a minute though.

    Pain is at about a six ot if ten right now, will hopefully get some paindullers soon.


    Best wishes to all..

    Hi Tony

    I am sorry that you had to stay in, but glad that they are obviously looking after you well. The old liquid morph does do a good job doesn't it. If it's at 6 your pain, ask a nurse for some more pain relief now rather than waiting. Hope the pain does start to decrease very soon.

    Morning Tony,

    Hope it's a better day for you today. I'll try to keep Julie away from that fire alarm but you know what she's like.

    Take care, mate. Hope you're back home soon.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    oh the joys of one's own bed.. Lol

    Home safe n sound, good to be home.. Ra went bonkers, think he's missed me a tad.. Lol

    Had some pain this aft, so had just a bit of the morphine. Going to make sure I rest properly at least till tomorrow aft then will start doing some of the exercises etc...

    Feeling a little groggy but thought I would pop in to let you all know I got home after the theme park ride back.. :shock: :shock:

    Back later folks, keep a seat warm for me... And a comfy stool for Ra of course..
    :grin::grin: .


    PS..
    Sorry if I've missed pocket duties or offering support etc, been limited with signal. Will get back on track soon, do please assume that I've been there etc..

    Hi Tony

    So glad you are now home safe and sound and it sounds like doped up. That oramorph is quite good stuff isn't it.

    Take care be gentle with yourself and the excercises will be there tomorrow or the day after. Get those pain levels sorted first.
