Thursday and I get up after a torrid night. Real difficulty sleeping but in the end succumbed and took a co-codamol at 2:30 in the morning. So this morning I get up make breakfast take my meds and shower with enough time to rest for a bit before I go the dental hygienist appointment. I feel like crap, tired and shaky but I’m determined to get it over and done with. I am hoping it will help get rid of the bad taste in my mouth that I think my meds are responsible for. So I start the blog and then rest for while.

My visit to the dental hygienist was mercifully short. I made it quite clear that this was not one of my good days so they got on with it. I returned home picking up a paper on the way back where I spent time doing todays crosswords. A late lunch for me before I watch two excellent semi finals at Wimbledon. I am feeling less well as the day goes on so by the time my partner returns with her friend from a day all I want to do is rest.

The evening is passed with catch up TV and a brief update of the blog, Mainly I finish reading Prospects by Kate Wilson. I take my night meds and go to bed hoping that tonight I will be able to sleep. It seems my body is taking its time recovering from my operation. Perhaps am just being impatient.
