If this subject is going to be useful to anyone I really do have to put the
silliest repairs in here!

I've had a bone-ache starting in my head today just after breakfast.
Normally I'd just let it ache but by 2pm the hands/knees/hips were already
bad enough to be getting hard to ignore and the skull just overloaded me a
little so I decided to take a pain-killer.

During the first hour after taking it various places stop hurting so badly
and as that happens you begin to feel the ones that weren't hurting as bad.
As though as the PKs kill the pain down to a certain level you begin to feel
the ones that you'd ignored before taking it.

So, the skull hurt turned out to be a circle of ow that ran round the top of
the left of the head round the cheek bone below the nose and back up to the
top-left-skull.

Inside, in the middle of that circle, is the throat - where your tongue goes
up to meet the back of the nose when you swallow. Got me so far?

So, now it isn't going ow I can feel that swallowing has suddenly changed.
Instead of leaving bits of food on the back of my tongue when I swallow, my
tongue is quite happily shoving everything it gets down where it should go.

Now don't ask me why it was like that but I can tell you I've lived with it
for some years since the aneurism and it could easily have been
problemmatical during sleeping hours! I always swigged a lot of sips of
water before bed in an attempt to clear the tongue. Guess I don't have to
now ;-))

I have never read anything like this anywhere so whether it is something
that happens a lot I don't know. They seem to be very loathe to offer any
help which makes people like me feel as though we're malingering. Silly but
true!

So, when I feel the two sides of my skull I realise that today the bones are
more or less the same shape. That's happened today. Some things you need to
be upright for them to happen so don't encourage your patient to stay in
bed. Up and around is equally as important!

Sorry if I've gone on a bit but this one was a bit complicated :-)
