Steeling myself . . .

Big day tomorrow - upping the slow release morphine to 40mg a day.

Had to top up with immed release on Friday and Saturday, then felt awful yesterday - zonked and spaced and out of it, like the morning's pill was once again reactivating everything else. Should have done the increase today, but needed to be able to drive, so had to delay it.

Not looking forward to this, because 40mg is where the evil depression hit last time (5 days in) and the side effects are probably going to wipe my brain out for a week. I hate that.

But the pain's bad, so I have to do it. Not that I hold out much hope of it helping - pain's been worse this evening since I took the 20mg dose.

Wish I didn't have to do this. Any of it.
