No blog yesterday, nothing much to say, a quiet day. Apart from some stomach problems felt reasonably well, but then compared to the previous three of four weeks, that wouldn't be difficult.

Sadly last night was not so good, a rather annoying side effect has come back as they do. It feels like I have something stuck at the back of my throat which I can't dislodge and every time I swallow it's there. Plus as soon as I lay down to sleep I get a sudden rush of acid which grips my chest and sends a knife-like pain up my neck. Consequently I spent the night propped up, a position which is not conducive to sleep for me, but it's a better alternative and I can at least rest.

I have got antacids from the hospital, but they don't seem to help, so I'm wondering if this is Thrush, especially as it's often followed by ulcers on my tongue.

Anyway I'm up now and I notice I'm more wobbly today and generally more tired. I'm awaiting delivery of my brand new 'firms' car a Ford Focus Zetec, an event which would normally be quite exciting, but is just something to get through this morning, not helped by the heavy rain. Oh well, must stop moaning and be grateful.
