Pain diaries

Sat - accident. Pain scale 5/10 increasing to 9/10 when clothes removed
Sun - morning after the day before. Crippling pain in any position. Counting the minutes till each dose of Codeine. 9/10 most of day
Mon - as Sunday only with added cascades of tears 10/10 most of day
Tues - 8/10
Wed - bit better 7/10?
Thurs - much much better. Codeine at 7am and now, as I type at 21.45, still haven't needed anymore, have had no daytime nap and popped out for an hour or so this morning. Max 5/10 (when eating dinner with no cushion under elbow).

Also taken ownership of some Comfrey (aka knitbone) oil, oyster shell capsules (sorry Oysters, I'm a bad and selfish vegetarian sometimes) and am reading up on bone-healing nutrition. Gone is coffee and red wine (only had one glass, mind) as they are bone 'robbers' apparently. Also off to bed to aid the healing process.

Am down but am very much not out......
