Hello darkness my old friend

Pain woke me at 3am - finally gave in and got up at 4am, armed with pills and potions which took a long time to work and then eventually knocked me out.

Still painful at 7pm just hoping I sleep tonight.

Thanks for calling in with your generous comments etc. It's always good to see you.
