I've not been blogging as much this week because there hasn't really been much to add. Things have stayed pretty much the same. The saliva has become thicker, but not really thick and I've found swills with the salt water and then later the carhopsol seems to give some relief from it.
Denplan have paid out on the private prescription I had for that so that's fab.
I'm still doing 5ml of oramorph about every 4 hours which seems to do the trick. Because I've been into work 3 days this week I've been talking more which I think annoys the ulcers a bit so they are more sore.
It has felt like there is flem in my throat and getting the mouth pipe in has been tricky because my mouth opening has really reduced.
I have to really concentrate during the zapping otherwise I start to think I need to swallow and there's really not much room for movement when you're fastened down. So long as I focus I can get through it, although I've started asked them to get me unclipped Asap at the end.
The skin on the outside is much redder now, and a bit flakey in a couple of spots. I hope it can hang in there 1 more week without breaking open or blistering.
I've had moment or two of feeling really tired this week, but I've also still been getting about on trains and buses and driving my self ( I make sure I'm 4 hours after oramorph and don't take any while I'm driving. ) Nearly there.......
