Having been free of pain for a few weeks, I made up for it today with a vengeance. Had vague pain since last night, then prolonged severe pain this morning. Fortunately my hubbie was home, though he felt pretty helpless. But I felt safer with him there. I tried to ride it out, but started vomiting, which made the pain even more severe, so my hubbie phoned 999. A first responder arrived as the pain receded. As usual, very kind. As I gradually felt a bit better, so refused to go to hospital, but on the understanding if the pain came back we ring 999 again and that I go to see the doctor tomorrow. Feel wrung out, particularly as the pain hasn't gone completely, vaguely simmering in the background. Still haven't got an appointment through from the consultant. By coincidence, I was changing sheets on the bed again. Perhaps we had better sleep in stinky sheets in the future!
