Less spiky...

managed some sleep last night so not feeling so bad

I worked out how to keep the pain at bay better...

a double dose of soluble codeine in a big glass

sipped whenever I woke in the night

minimal "scream periods"

the weather is rubbish so I don't feel so bad about missing the dog walk

but to her credit when G took her out on his own yesterday (first time ever) she was really well behaved - so all the training sessions have been worth it
