Plum honey & ginger cake

For some reason I knew hubby was going to come off the morphine cold turkey style (it is his way) which meant I knew today and probably tomorrow was going to be tough with him. So for my sanity last night i made a plum ginger honey cake as my, get my anger out, as I knew I would need to have the strength to cope with his side effects coming off.

He knew I was reducing my prednislone as I see consult in 4 weeks and my local GP wants me off by the time I see them so they see me as I am. The pain has upped a lot already and this morning was crap.

So my patience is this thin for someone who has regularly been told has patience of a saint with him though I want to hug him I just feel he has self inflicted this rather than be sensible and drop down a bit each day.

I get that he is fed up being sick and not diagnosed and I get he has had every drug going in past 7 months to reduce pain and nothing worked and a 44 week wait to see a neuro consult/review after 4 months of orpathdics and hospital. BUT why why oh why the cold turkey......getting in from work exhausted having to cope with it was not easy with the RA pain kicking back in.

RANT OVER off to eat ginger plum cake and clotted cream.x

Hi, I can’t imagine what he will be going through if he has come off the morphine, I forgot to change my morphine patch and I was soooo poorly with it and it didn’t enter my mind, oh this is why I’ve been ill.

I wish him luck, I can’t imagine what these druggies cope with not having anything, I have a multitude of illnesses, including Dementia, I didn’t put a patch on all my bloody pains came rolling back.

All the very best and I hope he doesn’t get to you and drive you mad. Lol

I sure feel for you and I can understand why he did it not to the degree he has done. I am reducing mine at the moment,but not cold turkey. I think I might be doing it too much as I have reduced mine by 2 1/2mg and I intend to stay on the same dose for at least a month before I reduce it again.I have piled the weight on since I have been on them. Hugs for you both as you both need the hugs.xxx
