I didn’t sleep well. Mostly the pain was so intense I could think of nothing else. Occasionally the pain subsided a little so I could think that maybe the pain would disappear completely if I amputated my head. Once the pain subsided sufficiently for me to wonder what would happen to next week’s AGM if I had no head.

Jackie had sorted out a drugs regime including a heady mixture of co-codamol, paracetomol, ibuprofen and amoxycilin. I completely lost track of which drugs I had taken and which I hadn’t. I do hope the Watford Senior Citizens’ Forum have some success with their campaign for improved labelling. Meanwhile, I relied completely on Jackie.

Around midnight, Jackie decided I needed pain relief from the A&E at the local hospital. I don’t remember much about the visit but when we returned home I was able to sleep properly for the first time since Wednesday night.
