I’m going home today!

They need to finalise my paperwork and meds so it’ll be another couple of hours but I’ll be sleeping in my own bed tonight.

The doctor said I need to take it easy for the next week or so because of, not just the physical illness, but also the stress of it all. It does mean another week off work but I think it’s what I need; to heal in my own space.

My pain has subsided now too so I’m feeling a lot better than I was this morning. It seems to be mornings are painful, regardless, but it goes after a little while. I’ll just have to keep myself dosed up on painkillers.

Flexi is over and done with but they didn’t find anything to warrant them doing anything. I’ve been told to go home and relax, and to call the helpline if things get worse.
I’m doing as I’ve been told and I’m trying to eat as normally as possible but I’m still flaring so that won’t be very easy.
I might take a nap later; the sedative hasn’t quite worn off yet and I’m tired and a little light headed from it still.
