Didn't have too bad a night last night. Still waking up every 3 hours to take my various medicines, and dealing with the dry mouth/ saliva issues but am getting back to sleep very quickly. The Dr had said I would need to increase the oramorph up to 5ml this week, but I'm still getting by on 2.5ml, along with the Paracetomol and voltorol.
I went into work yesterday, by train, and ended up having to walk back to the train station because the bus was full. By the time I got home I was shattered and went straight to bed at 5.30.
My neck has really tightened up both the skin and the muscles. I'm put the aqueous cream on everyday, but the burnt feeling on the outside is creeping up more.
The movcol twice a day seems to be stopping the oramorph blocking me up so keeping that up.
Still seem to be maintaining my weight, but then I am managing about 5 ensures a day so at 350kal each I'm sure that's plenty. There a range of flavours and I've been mixing them with normal milk to make them a bit thinner. I've also mixed them with shop bought milkshakes too. Although it's a bit boring they are so easy to drink. Ensure flavours I know of include ;likes: vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, raspberry, orange, fruits of forest, neutral, caramel and ones I don't like coffee , banana, peach. If you get prescribed them it's worth mentioning if there are any you don't like when you give the prescription in otherwise you'll end up like me with - load of peach and banana ones! I have given up on the baby food as it all just tasted so salty.
Time for another nap.
