Thanks AzDi
I'm doing ok. I've been taking it easy today while trying to move about every now and then...a tricky knife-edge. I think the double dose of Lyrica this morning has helped a bit, but I'm just shattered. My daughter's friends are here now and all being as daft as you'd expect lol, but because I rested up a lot earlier, I've been able to fake it through the few ten minute patches I needed to. they're having a good time and haven't noticed anything. I count that as an achievement!
Once they've finished eating (they're giggling and gobbling in the kitchen now) they are having the run of the ground floor, and my husband and I are going upstairs to lounge on our bed and read and chat. Might be quite nice

The kids are sleeping (hopefully) in the lounge, so it should be nice and quiet upstairs.
We had some mental weather today in one short burst. Really high gusts of wind, along with hail. The house actually vibrated with one gust, it was weird. I'm hoping that was the peak of the low, if you know what I mean

.
Now if I can just get some decent sleep....
I know I keep saying it, but thanks everyone. In a crisis, you are there. It's amazing. Hope you are all doing ok today and the pain is low.
