Better

Thanks to all you lovely flisters for your kind words! I wasn't able to reply yesterday, because I did what the doctor always says one shouldn't do: Took a double dose of the lovely painkillers-cum-muscle relaxant he'd prescribed, downed them with a triple whisky and went to bed. After 15 hours of sleep I'm feeling much better, the pain has been significantly reduced. The stomach wasn't especially happy, but there shall be mashed potatoes today, and tea.
And I think I'll be going back to sleep rather soon, because I'm still feeling a bit stoned. Not in a bad way, though.
