Friday 25th June 2004
I took one of my Amitriptyline tabs (25mg) last
night (one to be taken at night) but I didn’t
sleep very well. I think it may be side effects
of the new tabs. I went for my second appointment
at Cookridge Hospital for checking the fit of my
mask for the radiotherapy treatment. I also had
an x-ray to align the machine up; also signed a
consent form. My next appointment is on the 9th
of July when I will be told how many weeks of radiotherapy
I will be having. I have had trouble with the lower
two discs in my back since my late twenties when
I damaged it at work. I have been able to overcome
this most of the time. However tonight I slipped
off my chair whilst sitting down and this has brought
on the back pain really badly. When it is like this
I have trouble walking, sitting and lying in bed.
My back goes into spasm when I go to sleep then
wakens me up and I can’t move. I woke up at
about 4 am and could not get out of bed until my
home help called and helped me up.
