Day 49 - Thursday 16th June - Part One
Good Night's Sleep.
Ate a good breakfast. At one point, she couldn't find her cup of tea, which was right in front of her. (As stated in previous blogs, she has difficulty seeing anything lower or to the left of her, unless she looks directly at it).
dp:- It's on the table in front of you. Have another look.
kp:- I am getting as bad as you at finding things.
(Personal Joke, cos whenever I can't find anything around the house, I always call kp).
Bedbath by dp. Offered to wash her hair.
kp:- No disrespect, but I don't want you to wash my hair.
I laughed.
dp:- None taken
She feels more comfortable if the nurses do her hair because of her head wound which is very sore.
kp was taken for a hip x-ray.
When the stroke consultant came round, he said the x-ray looked ok to him, but he didn't know what it looked like before. He mentioned there being a bit of loose bone around the hip. I vaguely recall this was there before. We need to wait for the Orthopedic people to give their opinion. kp feels there is something wrong with her hip as it has been giving her a lot of jip over the past 24 hours.
The consultant also mentioned that kp's infections seem under control now. She certainly hasn't had any temperatures, and her blood pressure is back to normal. It was low yesterday (83 over 50) - forgot to mention that !
I think because of the hip problems, kp won't be put in the chair today. Too much aggro for her.
She may get some physio this afternoon.
