Wheelchair And Pain Relief.

Before I was diagnosed with having breast cancer again along with bone cancer I was in a lot of pain. I remember trying to walk from my bedroom to the sitting room and been in severe pain that I had to go doctors. When I got there Mrs Blade could see how much pain I was in and let me into the doctor before anyone else. He took a blood test to see what was wrong. He told me to lay on his couch bed but I couldn't lay down without screaming in pain he had to give me a morphine injection to ease the pain a little. Mrs Blade is MR Blades wife and the receptionist and MR Blade is the doctor. That's how I found out I had bone cancer. Mrs Blade said she'd never seen anyone in as much pain as I was. I was put on so much pain medication and other medication for different reasons it was crazy. I'd never been the type of person to take tablets unless it was necessary for me to take them. I was put on very strong painkillers which made me very sick I was throwing up four to five times a day then I was giving anti-sickness tablets to stop me from throwing up and they didn't work eventually they gave me a special tablet that has to ordered and it worked. My aunty Molly had a wheelchair for when she had cancer and needed to get around, Sadly she passed away and my cousins gave me her wheelchair. I felt a bit embarrassed using it at first but after a while I was also glad to have it. now I'm walking around on short walks without having to use the wheelchair.
