One of the biggest problems has been my inability to lie down to sleep because of pain. However I have now had two sessions of sleep (albeit short) in a horizontal position and last night managed around 3 and a half hours undisturbed which was excellent. Because of my sleeping position, and my slowness of walking , I have had severe problems with fluid retention in the legs and feet but thankfully this now appears to be slowly abating.

I must say that I have been very pleasantly surprised with many of the results with the quality of image available using various films being quite amazing, having a certain tonality which is different to  digital. I appreciate all that digital has to offer but it would now not worry me greatly if I had to go back to film as standard.
