I am happy to be back on my feet and possibly owe this to the steroids that have been introduced to my cocktail of drugs. Last week I was in hospital having a small operation on my back. It went well and morphine is now targeted specifically to the nerve sensors for the lower body. In other words, my head is a lot clearer. I have developed a tendency to headaches which is possibly a temporary side effect of the recent operation. The solution is to lie on one's back . . . tricky in Betty’s. On the subject of my head, my consultant is not fully persuaded that my brain is clear of the disease and as a result I had an MRI scan on Monday. I am awaiting the results and will of course let you know.
