The 5th & 6th; Very boring.
The 5th of May. More trips out today. Busy busy.
When I woke up, I was struggling, because the oxygen cylinder upstairs had run out. However, things have improved since then. It is always worst in the mornings and evenings. After breakfast, I watched the new episode of Riverdale, and (no spoilers) SO. MANY. REVELATIONS. Also I am sick to death of Veronica Lodge always bringing it back to her and her dad. Do not care, shut up.
I had an appointment at the GP at quarter past one to discuss pain relief. The buprenorphine is making absolutely zero difference to my pain, and she seemed quite surprised to hear this. The next step is to try pregablin instead, so I'll start that tonight. Fingers crossed it doesn't affect my breathing.
We came home for about an hour, then we were back out to the dental hospital, just for a check up. They were running late, so I got a lot of The Burial Hour read while we waited. I got called by a young dentist called Joseph who looked about twelve, but was very competent. He looked at my mouth to see if there were any signs of GvHD while another dentist scribed, then we just had to wait for their senior colleague to check I was fine. He was with another patient, and while we sat, we got onto the subject of Netflix, and the girl who'd been writing watches Pretty Little Liars and Riverdale too, and they both watched 13 Reasons Why, so we were in no rush for him to arrive.
Dr. Khan finally came, and thinks my mouth looks the best he's ever seen it, so they don't want me back for four months.
As soon as we left, I reopened my book as I was at a critical point, and now it is finished. Oh, Jeffery. Clever, clever Jeffery.
The 6th of May.
Do not like this new pain drug, pregablin. So far it is not making my back feel any better, it has just made me really sleepy all day. Not exactly tired, but my eyes just want to close. It's not ideal. I'm going to continue with it for a few days, see if the sleepiness wears off and the pain gets any better. I'm not optimistic but I have to give it a chance.
My day has been a really rather dull one, for the most part - I have been sitting with the laptop, typing up the blog entries that I have got behind on posting. There were six to do I got three done. They're still not posted because I need to add photos and I do that on my iPad. It is very boring but it must be done.
I had a couple of breaks in which I went to sit with Sam and we were both sleepy. He is such a good boy that if nobody wants to adopt him, I will beg Daddy to let us keep him. He won't live that long, won't cost us a huge amount of money.
This evening I went out with Sadie to see Joel Dommett. She is a bit in love with him and asked if I'd go so I agreed - although I've already seen his show, I was interested to see how he would make the show work, going from a 90 seat room to an 1800 seat one. When we arrived, I saw JT, and we had a little catch up, then he had a look at our tickets and asked if we wanted to go in the wheelchair space instead. Considering they were better seats and I didn't have to move, I was only too keen to say yes.
The show has definitely improved since October, and I think it actually works better in the larger space. I'd completely forgotten about Laser Dick, but by the second chorus I was singing along again. And he's changed the ending, which I won't spoil, but it's definitely more suitable for the bigger venues he's doing. He's not coasting on the fame he's got from I'm A Celebrity; he's worked really hard and it's paying off.
