Addiction to medical drugs
I just read a review of a new book on Huffington Post UK. As someone who cannot take pain meds other than paracetamol (and with a relative with addiction), I read this article with interest. I thought of those Bonesmart posts where people are worried about becoming addicted to their prescribed drugs. Part way through the article there interesting info re use of morphine medically. Here's the link for any one interested:

Thanks to @Legin for the reference to Huffington Post UK It is one of the many things that I alternate between in keeping "going bonkers" at bay.
My Hip
My body is made of two parts at the moment. The half, including my operated hip, that needs movement and exercise and the other half that needs total rest and no weight bearing. it is exhausting trying to meet these different needs and I ache. My hip has gone back to how it was 4 weeks or so post surgery, achey, stiff and complaining. My foot is still very painful and should be rested and elevated all day!! Oh well I am hoping that I do not need an op, will get results of CT scan tomorrow so will know then, following that it will be a matter of "sitting it out til it heals!
