I have been so busy..that's inbetween being very dozy ..as is my wont!
Sold several things but one with rather a dismal result.. I had charged £10 + £4.46 p&p.. Fee for entry was £2 and postage turned out to be £10.56 = minus 10p!! ..

Started on a Low Carb diet and have managed to lose a few pounds... Hooray!! Now at 13st13lb Although it's very slow at least it is going down and I am very pleased with that!

I must admit that the tendency to sleep throughout various points of the day is lessening(thank...

I will say it's not the easiest thing I had to do but far from the harshest i've experienced.
This is where my faith comes in.
I truly believe that a power greater than myself can return my body to "sanity" if you will....

This morning (it's 0004 Hours) is a milestone for my new pain med therapy - and I am a little nervous about it.

It has been about 5 days exactly since the first application of the "7 day" Butrans patch. Over the last 24 hours I got to the point where I was leaning towards my last few Norco about every 6 hours, which is obviously too much. I inspected the Butrans patch on me and realized it was fairly worn and poorly attached. Whether the decreasing analgesia is a result...
