Yesterday we went to Sidmouth, ostensibly for a trip out, but of course we happened on a Waitrose where we shopped. The weather on the front at Sidmouth was nothing like it was at home - cold, very breezy, and truly bracing! I forgot to mention that I'd had my hair trimmed the day before, and my poor scalp took the full force of said weather.
Today held one other unpleasant surprise, in that my morphine patches were due for changing at tea-time. Unfortunately they ran out five hours early, which apparently can happen. I have often wondered what would happen if my pain relief ran out completely, and now I know. That will not be allowed to happen again. It was absolutely excruciating, but fortunately the replacement patches took very little time to kick in - about twenty minutes or so.
