I think when we see our blogs posted more than once it's because we pressed the Save button more than once. Sometimes it's slow to work and we get impatient. This thought just struck me a couple of minutes ago. Anybody can feel free to correct me if I am wrong. If I am correct I wish that I had realised this ages ago.

Hi there! My darling husband has been taken off his syringe driver of hydromorphone and put onto kapenol tablets (8 a day), dexmethasone (I thought it was to increase his appetite- but maybe it is nausea), pregabalin, somac, panadol and a few other bits and pieces for the pain caused by his cancer and peritonectomy.
