I want to be a dinosaur!

Aw, hugs code. You have very good reasons to be unhappy, you aren't out of line at all! I would say be careful with going back to work even though it is pretty horrid being at home, you don't want to make it worse so that you need even longer off. Constant pain is so miserable, I always find it wears me down and I start having all kinds of bad thoughts. Can you increase the current medication at all without changing it? Maybe a chat with the doctor might help?

I love the idea of a WaSaurus who would skip about helping the other dinosaurs. She'd even help the scary ones. The WaSarus was purple and sparkly.

Thank you. I can still increase the medication but it has to be done mega slowly or my skin will fall off or something. I'm always a bit more fragile after an episode of pain.

I should probably take my painkillers instead of trying not to in case I get addicted

I used to worry about addiction, too. For years I only took 4 a day and then suffered all day long. Then I gave up and I am totally addicted now but it's worth it because the previous pain was terrible. As long as you don't take a full dose for a long period of time you should be able to cut down again once it calms down, don't deprive yourself of relief when it's so bad.

I am now to be known as a sparkly purple dinosaur. I am very happy with this.

Wot, like this do you mean?




Edit.......talking of which, do you still have that dinosaur that hatched and grew, WaS?

Exactly like that. Pyxis, you're so good at finding the exact, right thing.

I apologise for this, sorry! But all I can think about (and yes, he wasn't sparkily) is Barney the Dinosaur.:o:rotfl:

Hahaha! Well, it's not me, it's Mr. Google! :rotfl:

That is me! I love it! I have always loved dinosaurs, I still have one that I bought from the Natural History Museum on a school trip when I was 6. He is 40 years old now!

I do indeed have Dave the Dinosaur! He grew huge! He lives in front of the tv now with my clanger. On that note I need to check if my tv box managed to record The Clangers, I set it up to record the entire series!

The first 13 stopped a couple of weeks ago and are being repeated in the mornings at the moment.
I'm assuming the next 13 will restart in September.

Waves_and_Smiles

Oooh, ok! I am probably recording the repeats too, then! It gave me the option of recording the whole series whenever it popped up!

In internet news the engineer fixed it yesterday, today it is gone again. This is ridiculous and costing £5 a day for mobile internet which I cannot afford! They said that they will take £30 off of my next bill as compensation so at least that's something towards the cost. This is very annoying, though!

The more I look at that purple dinosaur picture the more I want one.
