Thursday: a step forward or back?

We've had what feels like a roller-coaster day today; we changed over from morphine tablets to skin patches last night, in an effort to better control the pain in my leg. It certainly seems to have helped with pain control, but when I attempted to get in the shower I apparently passed out. I'm taking it very easy today, just to be sure. I'm also adjusting the dose for another painkiller to see if that helps. No damage was done to either me or the shower apart from a small loss of face on my part:-(.

Thanks to those who have already offered to provide lifts, or patient-sitting (me). I can already see that your offers will be well-used.
