When someone asks, are you still in pain?

Thanks for asking, it’s alright in the main Pray

The little voice shouts from inside my head

Tell them the truth it feels like I’m dead.

With the like likelihood of this post being banned due to too many expletives, it’s a must that I only skirt around the edges of throbbing pain and it’s 3 or 4 hour long impossible session.

What it is anybody’s guess but it here to stay and comes and goes when it likes.

Quite honestly I’m close to giving up, I really am. It’s all new to me, this lowering of all the pain threshold’s working out if there’s somebody I should tell.

I’m feeling like there’s something in temperature; both my body and the groom I’m in.

I’m buggered if I can fathom what’s happening to cause it and to be truthful nothing much stops it.

I’m defeated and worse still, still in pain.

When will I get better?

When will I get relief from the pain?

What’s the point of all this pain?

I’m beginning to not cope.

My Darling is now doing two full shifts at home.

I’m teaching her how to input the solar panel meter readings.

I’m getting ready to spiral the massive plug hole of human endings.

How did my mum cope with all the pain she was in? Am I a woose? Why can I not cope.

I hope I’m better tomorrow.

Good night

PS

I’ve postponed the old Volvos MoT due to my pains, I couldn’t get in the car, so I will have to cancel tomorrows meet and greet at elevenses.

I’m taking all this in my stride but my stride is nothing short of pathetic right now.

When will this end…

PPS

Sorry that the blog is short today.

I’m not myself and there are many problems I pick up every day. Leaving a week’s worth would be an amazing list.

Unfortunately I’m going backwards so fast I’m starting to get worried that the year and a half is too ambitious for a prognosis — in reality now.

  • Bl**dy Hell  for once, I don’t know what to say to offer you some reassurance or comfort. Pain, pain, pain….that sounds like hell on earth, you poor man. Your darling will, obviously, be going through hell too. Hold her tight - despite the pain - and hug her. My heart goes out to both of you.  Bless you.  I sit here thinking how lucky I am and I feel somewhat guilty at the thought.  AW

  • Morning Mr U.

    When my dearest was in hospital, she was in pain! (it was hard to watch) - even oramorph wasn't touching it and she would count down the seconds to the next dose and curse if they were late with it!! In the end they brought in a specialist from "The pain management team". I (and Mrs M) can't recall what she did exactly but she fiddled around with the medication until it hit the right spot.

    Would it be an idea to ask if your team have access to a pain management team? - Just an idea!

    Best wishes - Brian.

  • Yesterday the Hospice called back and I’m now* on maxxx Gabapentin (* or will be after gradual increments to 900 x 3 times a day).

    Thanks for your replies Millibob and Alpine Wanderer. Pray

  • I also don't know what to say to help. I remember the bone pain when I was on docetaxel and can only sympathise, as what you describe sounds almost unbearable. I really hope someone can help you to manage it better. Sending love as always.

  • Sending another gentle hug , hope the pain is sorted soon xx
