When the little things are nasty...

...I can fall back on the big things! For example, things have still been pretty grotty quite a lot of the time, as my back is still giving me grief (particularly in the morning and just before I go to bed) and I've thrown up again once or twice, as well as feeling very weary and generally not on best form. So this morning my back was really hurting and I was worried about whether I'd be able to get up to let the nurses make me back, and about how difficult it might be to eat my breakfast, and then I was brought my morning post, which had some lovely letters from lovely people, and I remembered how lovely they all were and that they care about me. So I was cheered! Oh, and I had proper coffee, too, which is nothing but a joy.
