Peculiarly rigid

[ailbhe]

I found it hard to breathe comfortably last night because all the muscles on m chest and abdomen went rigid. They did it again this morning. I dunno is it to do with codeine or just the pain levels.

I slept about ten hours and woke exhausted. Clearly I'm in more pain than I think I am, since I keep thinking "Oh, I have free time, I can go to town," and things.

Everything feels like things are going well, though. I dreamed I ate a pack of crisps.

Soon I will be allowed to brush my teeth. I really want to do that.

Codeine does have an effect on lung function. I haven't heard of it causing that kind of rigidity though.

Mine do that when I am in lots of pain. I think it's some sort of stress reaction. Mind you, I am talking about something that lasts a handful of seconds each time, if yours is going on and on and on it's different.
