Cold Turkey

I woke up with a migraine, or maybe codeine withdrawal symptoms if the neurologist is right, at 3:30 am on Saturday. Not yet having the medication which he thought would reduce the suffering of avoiding co-codamol, I decided to avoid it anyway and spent the day in a darkened room with the severe headache waxing and waning until it became more bearable in the late evening. We'd booked to see "Australia", but I couldn't make it. Slept well that night and had a nice day on Sunday including lunch out at the Old Butchers in Stow: a fine restaurant, full to the brim.
