Day 48 - Wednesday 15th June - Part One
kp had a better night last night but was very lethargic when she woke up, staring into space a lot
We did the usual bedbath thing, and it was much quicker today, which is better for kp.
Car Photos
At kp's request, I showed her the photos of the car she was in when the accident occurred. She wasn't phased by them at all. I think that was partly because she couldn't see them properly, despite me printing them off A4 size for her. Marie later showed her them with the magnifying glass, but because Marie got upset when she saw them, I think kp was putting on a brave face - or maybe, she just was too lethargic to get upset.
Rather than include the photos so they show up straight away in the blog, I have made it so you need to click on the links below to see them. Kevin warned me to sit down before I saw them. They are quite shocking, and it is unbelievable that there were 3 people in the car in the pictures. Only click on these links if you want to see pictures of the car kp, Kevin and Angela were in.

Policeman's Visit
The policeman from the scene came in today. He answered any questions Karen had. Here are some snippets I can recall from what he said, which was either new to me, or interesting from his angle (I can't say too much because the man in question hasn't been interviewed yet) :-
When the policeman first got to the car, he was unaware there was a third person (Karen) in the car. He could only see Kevin and Angela. It wasn't until he was looking at Angela's predicament that he saw Karen.
He told Karen that he had had to lie on her to help Angela at one point, and he apologised for putting his weight on her. As soon as he said this, kp recalled this part of the crash. She said
kp:- So that was you
She then made a fist at the policeman. We all laughed. kp smiled.
The road was closed for 3 hours.
About 18 policeman were involved at the scene.
The man (who is at fault) was going about 60mph in the van when he impacted Kevin's car. The momentum of the video tapes in the back of the van caused the rivets to pop
Physio
The physio did his thing, and the occupational therapist came today also. She is going to be helping kp learn how to do day to day things again with only 1 working arm/hand.
