I felt fairly good most of the day yesterday and even felt comfortable enough to venture down the corridor a bit at work without my stick. By about 7pm though while we were watching TV I started getting stabbing pains in the right side of my chest, and around the same area on my back. I have been getting this on and off for a while, but last night it became almost unbearable. In the end I took some more tramadol and went to bed about 9.30. It took me a while to get to sleep, and then kept waking up quite frequently with, what by then was more discomfort than pain. I eventually got a couple of hours fairly solid sleep and woke at about 5. Thankfully by then I was basically in the same state as I typically am in the morning – a bit stiff down my thoracic spine and left calf muscle solid. I took the dog out into the garden about 7am for a bit of a play and the stiffness has almost worn off.
I had planned to start laying the flooring in the spare room today but I think I’ll have to see how I am after we’ve been in to town later. I’ll maybe make a start, knowing I’ve got tomorrow to relax if I have any problems.
