Pain but limited

I allude to the pain of a wisdom tooth that decided to rebel and give me a sleepless monday night. Now last week I didn't see any trades and it was the first week of a 5 week month for options, so I was eagerly looking for a 4800/4300 combo.
Prices lined up on tuesday as I was enduring max pain and thanks to some serious painkillers I didn't know what day it was, so decided against trading. Dentist duly removed the shattered pieces of tooth.
Sod's law- the flippin' trade was a peach. I'm looking for the F to hit that key 4620 level again and try to capture a down move which would bring the old account bank into the black. Patience and a small tolerance of pain required, but this week is pretty much a write off for profits-though I have about 6 fx pairs on a watchlist and most days have paper traded- one tiny loser so far but averaging over 100 pips a day profit- which the spreadbetters would reduce to about 30 by my reckoning-so risk/reward is ugly. More work to be done there.
