Post # 11 - a looong sleep

That pain medication is powerful stuff, no wonder it has a street value. In Philip's case it sent him on a high and the gotta-have-it-right-this-minute purchase of a new phablet, followed by constant use of same, seemed to wind him up further.

The crash came at 2 pm yesterday and he went into a heavy sleep, with barely-fluttering eyelids each time I checked on him, until he woke at 9 am today, 19 hours later.   He obviously needed the rest but it doesn't help his weight when he misses meals and he has lost a further 4 kg. We can only hope it was a glitsch with the scales. He has completely lost any desire for sweet foods (he even thought the pikelets I cooked were sweet despite no sugar in them) and after years of low fat cooking it is not easy to adjust to full cream everything. I am preparing his 'n' her meals but trying to simplify recipes.
