Sunday, up at 6 and out from 8 until 3, little snooze before going out again at 4 until about 9.

Monday, up at 5 and home from work by abiut 3:30, waiting for the doctor to call.

Tuesday, up at 5, pick up prescription and take to chemist, home by 4. No chanve of a snooze as it's SWMBO birthday, family around until about 9.

Wednesday up at 5, go to chemist to pick up my tablets, they didn't have enough on Tuesday, home by 3:45. Write this and sleep :)

I know, once a year it all happens.

Back to normal now, I do like getting up at 5am and being home by 3:30 for a snooze.

Now, after all the stress and strain, my 5mg dose is holding :)

I think your spoons were gone by the end of the first day. Hope you're okay.

Sunday was a hard day, about 40 mins snooze and then what seemed like a second full day!

Sunday was a triple event, just a meal at my sisters, but it takes time and energy I'm don't have to spare.

in reply to JulianJ

Tough love Mate! What I've learned here is that you have to stop being Mr Wonderful! You have to be strong to do this! Good for your sake & everyone else's.

This illness just keeps biting back otherwise. ATB

It's 1 week a year, so I'll cope, Monday was hard because Sunday was so long, today has been much better. Should have been taking the next step on Monday, but going to stay for another 3 weeks. Time to settle and recover a bit.

It is amazing just how much little things take out of you and we forget about them and concentrate on the big things.

On the plus side, I'm feeling as I did on Friday so all good for now :)

in reply to JulianJ

That's good news then. Take it easier. If you can!!
