Mmm. Shame Ray. Pain is never easy. And I wish I could take it away. Big Hug.
Thank you Carol it is mostly my amputated hand and wrist. The nerve endings at the tip wont seem to settle down. Sometimes my fingers hurt (fantom pains). The doctor says it could take up to 7 or 8 years for them to subside. I get fantom pains in my leg. They usually only last for a few hours.

So much nicer than the usual shade of pink:)
I still have a nice line of purple bruise around my foot after all this time, but it is fading.
It all takes time and rest.....and more time and rest........

I did think the yellow and purple clashed a bit, but it seems quite a trendy combo for the bruised [emoji849][emoji1]

I have heard about phantom pains. They should invent some phantom pain killers for it. [emoji6]

Good mornooning everyone. It’s Tuesday :) I am waiting for my Supermarket shop to be delivered and then I shall need to find something to keep my brain busy while my activity is reduced. Honestly, I would rather have that cough and chest infection. At least I didn’t care that I couldn’t do much!
It's frustrating isn't it?
I sympathise.
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.

I can't even pretend to imagine what you're going through. I truly wish I could help. Has hypnotism ever been tried with phantom pain?
