In Too Deep
“Lines of crushing pain run in bands around my skull, while my vision is blurry and my stomach is awash with acid and the remains of last night’s food.
Hannah snores gently in the next bed, dreaming her way to morning. She makes little noises as she works through whatever’s playing out in her brain, but once or twice the sweet contented snuffles transform into deep, painful moans punctuated by words that I can’t make out. Words that sound utterly sad.
I get up slowly and take two paracetamol fro...m my bag. I’ve done this most mornings since Rick went, but nothing numbs the various pains I have, whether self-inflicted or otherwise. I used to consider myself pretty healthy for my age, with few trips to the GP, but now it’s as if my body is fast-forwarding to old age. My joints ache, my skin has turned papery and dry, and my hair is falling out. I have stomach pains most of the time, and palpitations that stop me in my tracks, while the shake in my hand is only stopped by fitful bouts of sleep or, more often than not, wine.MoreLess
