It’s been a week since the walk, the one that crippled me! So back down the dose and tramadol, and no side effects. Happy days.

Plan this week is to Bleach and Dye my hair, wash and straighten. Now for most people this will be a day or 2 day event. However for me it’s so much longer!!

MONDAY Still resting more, but at least I’ve reduced the tramadol successfully. 0.1ml X 3. Had an epic movie marathon.

TUESDAY Bleach session 1, felt the back a lot when I was washing off the bleach. Thankfully Mr Moon puts the bleach on as I don’t think my arms could handle that much work. Psoas ache and back pain are my worst enemies at the moment.

WEDNESDAY Bleach session 2, thank goodness we broke this up into parts, it so exhausting sitting on hard chairs and bending over the bath to wash off. 0.2ml morning then 0.1ml at night.

THURSDAY 0.1ml morning, Trying to hear myself up for sitting again in the chair, ready for the pink hair dye (thank goodness we only do this once a year! Bleach and pink) I freshen pink up after 3 months or so. Again Mr Moon is the one putting it on, as it’s too hard for me. 0.1ml bedtime.

FRIDAY Today I’m out out, looking for goodies for holiday to take with us, like foods, and drinks, pamper sessions etc. We go next week (excited but tired and sore) and I made the mistake of forgetting meds and oil in the morning, instant regret and suffering. Managed to grab a coffee at greggs and took tramadol to tie me over, then once home took etoricoxib, and paracetamol. At tea time I took the oil. 0.1-5ml. Back is killing but it could be due to sitting on hard chairs for 3 days doing my hair.

SATURDAY I get the lovely job of pup sitting, so I’m a tad achy and stiff (thank you cold weather) so 0.1-5ml for the morning, along with tramadol and etoricoxib. Had another 0.1-5ml at bedtime, and hot water bottles. Hands are feeling the damp weather and elbows too.

SUNDAY Slept in, no alarm, that was lovely. Slow day of movies and packing so just 0.1ml for midday. Been loving the Saw franchise (mad as I swear I wouldn’t, hence why I’d not seen any until this week!!) And old horrors like critters, nightmare on elm Street, pet semetary. 0.1ml at bedtime, it’s been a good day today even though hands have hurt.
