10 days post operation

I am now 10 days since my operation.

This pain is at its worse after sleeping. It is a deep 'bone' sort of pain, that starts at my ear and goes across my sinus. The morphine eases it, but within 5 hours I am desperate for the next dose. Still taking Solpadol and Diclofenac.

I know its a bit of a vicious circle, really. The morphine is making me sleep, which is causing the pain. I have a triangle pillow bought last time cancer popped its ugly head up, perhaps I should try sleeping sat up - just to see if that helps.

I was hoping this far down the line, I would be feeling better.

Swelling and bruising have virtually all gone
