Day 28 - Wednesday 25th May - Part Two
Just had a heart breaking call from kp.
She is in a lot of discomfort and is totally fed up and "wants it all to end".
She can't get to sleep, she can't get comfy and she wants me to sort it all out. I spoke to the nurse and one of the doctors to see if anything else can be done to ease her discomfort.
But she has had the maximum pain relief, the maximum sleeping tablet dosage, they have moved her on every side they can move her and she is still uncomfortable and fed up.
I feel so sorry for her.
One of the doctors assured me that within 90mins the latest tablets should kick in and she should be ok. I reassured her that this was the case, and I think she believed me.
The only other option is sedation, and the more severe pain relief, but this would only slow down her recovery. Battling on is the only real solution.
They are wonderful at ICU and I have no doubt they are doing all they can. I left the phonecall feeling that kp was reassured that it would be ok within an hour or so.

Battle on love. You're doing so well.

Tears again for me Karen,over the rainbow, was our Mandis fav song.
Iwas thinking about Marie and the family all day and it was hard for me not to be able to give Marie a cuddle. I think she can be forgiven for getting the wrong knickers, thongs indeed.Mind you they would go very well with the flowered nightie te he. Dont worry about the move KP once people get to know you they will love you like we do and after all you wont be there that long at the rate your going Thanks david for vidio (i say KP dont you think im getting good at this computer lark)back to you David thanks again for all you are doing for everyone to keep us informed on Kps progress take care both of you till tomorrow.Margo ps thanks spud.
Karen & David,
I have been following this web site since I came back from our holiday. And have really appreciated all your texts on Karens condition. I have seen the comments from the guy in London who went to see the show. Like him and since the accident, you have been in my thoughts. I know that I do not know anything about you or your family but feel that I have so much to say to you both as a result of that day on the motorway. All I could think about when I was inside the car holding your head was I can let this girl go. I must do everything I can for her and her friends. It seemed to take an age for the emergency services to arrive but in reality it was only minutes. Things keep coming back to me about the scene and what you said to me. Don't worry I'll not put them on here, I'll tell you in person when I eventually meet you. (though you were concerned about if you were flashing any bits!!(you weren't))
I did not know what you looked like until David text me with this site and I got to finally see your pic. You were facing away from me in the car and when I came to the hospital a few days later your bed was rotated the other way!!!
Anyway, keep getting better and hopefully we will meet soon.
John
Just been watching the vid at work. Sorry PDC if output is down. And Jane said KP sings better than Guy. Dont worry about the move just think that there will be some new nurses to have wrapped around your finger and give the ICU nurses a well deserved break. Embarresing the poor lad by telling him you couldnt get your leg over Poor thing
Love to all Keep up the good work both of you
Love Bill Justine and rosie
