I will report back manana
If the beeping machines shut up long enough to let me sleep

Ta, and bottoms up, Darling. Something settlin’ for me, I think: the fried potatoes were both very good and A Mistake.
Hope the painkiller fulfils its mission. Sleep well. Or basically, just bloody sleep for a change;- )

It’s only unsuitable if you don’t want to eat it.

I have noticed that you have been around during ‘unFishly’ hours. Are you trying to walk-off the pain?
I save 1 of my 2 heavy-duty painkillers for the midnight hour, unless there’s an Medicinal in the offing…

Walking does ease it considerably. I noticed that by the end of each day it was a lot less vile, and extrapolated. Since lying in bed feeling sorry for myself is futile anyway, I don’t lose anything by doing so.

I am lying in bed and enjoyed a lightly curried butter nut squash soup for lunch
It was rather good and proves that catering for the halt and lame can be done with flavour to tempt you with wholesome food

I have to spend a lot of time lying on my back (stoppit), so deploy the various Pillocks according to how I feel, & to keep me reasonably aligned.
If I haven’t got the foot of my bed raised, I use a memory foam half cylinder behind my knees to support them & stop the ‘dragging’ sensation.

Lying on my back actively peeves the sciatic nerve, I discovered, so I use a pillow to help my leg stay in a not-too-horrid position, but of course when I move in my sleep it tends to be dislodged and then I wake up saying Ow. The whole thing is a blasted nuisance.

Yes, itizz. I have left-sided sciatic pain and find that lying on the right and bending my left knee, pulling that leg up as far as I can manage, really does help. Or else, unlike for you, Dear Fish, lying on my back does stop the pain.
We’ve visited a Donkey Sanctuary, today, and had a grand pub supper. Embra, tomorrow.

I am wondering if it’s possible to have gin delivered
Before I rip the alarums and call bells wiring out of the building
This would be a shame as it’s a really nice new ward that still smells of new paint

If it’s a good new building, gin should be on the green tap.
Otherwise, [flappity][flappity][flappity][flappity]…
