Hey loveeee ❤️

Congrats on the productive day ????????

Hopefully, you’ll be so knackered from being so busy today, that you’ll just be out cold for the whole night through.

I’ve got my fingers crossed for ya!

So, my legs are still aching, but loads better. Totally manageable! Day 2 right up until yesterday, I was in absolute PAIN with them, I was like, almost demented.

But i’ve been in bed for the past hour (i’m still feeling lethargic) and although I can feel an ache, it’s not forcing me to move position like it was.

All happy and welcome improvements ????????????

I was taking prescribed codeine phosphate, 30mg tablets. For me, it wasn’t that I was taking too much or too frequent, more that it’s been on and off for a decade. I convinced myself I needed them. 2 tablets, 4 times a day, with additional paracetamol if and when needed.

But then, whenever i’ve stopped taking them in the past, I have danced my way through it all, without issue!

Not this time.

This time has been utter hell.

It felt like I had wronged a vengeful God and was on the receiving end of their wraith!

Hence why I am so very very proud of you for getting as far as you have. I like to think i’m pretty tough, but this has been one of the worst weeks of my entire life (I had an unplanned emergency c-section and this has been worse! ????)

Tomorrow, we should feel that bit better again hopefully ????????

I hope you sleep ok!xx
