Day 44 - Saturday 11th June - Part One
Very little to report.
Bad Night with pain. Apparently one of the nurses, kp estimated, had been in about 20 times turning kp to try and get her comfy. I thanked him when I arrived at kp's request. Lovely chap.
No more sickness and diarrhoea thankfully.
Full Breakfast.
Nice bedbath and the nurse fitted one of the headbands that Marie had brought in (4 for a £1) to try and secure the dressing at the back of kp's head.
After the bedbath, we both had a snooze for about 45 mins.
Then kp listened to an audiobook brough in by Gill, which she has been enjoying from time to time.
She isn't asleep - she is just resting her eyes - or so she tells me.
One of the nurses noticed that I was wearing Karen's wedding and engagement rings. When kp was very very poorly, they had to take the rings off as her left hand (stroke side) was very swollen. I have worn them since, and vowed I would keep them on until she was better. I said she could have them back if she felt upto it. We tried to get them on, but unfortunately, due to the lack of movement on kp's left arm, her hand is still a bit too swollen and they wouldn't fit on. There would have been a few tears from me had I been able to get them on, as it is a tangible sign (to me) that kp is back in good health again. Maybe next week !
kp had placed an order for lunch with Marie at 9am and Marie and Adele came in with a hot chicken from Morrisons and some fresh rolls. kp wolfed half a sandwich down and was then full.
