Day 52 - Sunday 19th June
kp was on her own today at the hospital until 11.30am (by choice). She gave the nurses 8/10 for their bedbath. I'll have to find out what I score. She didn't eat any breakfast as she felt nauseous.
From breakfast time until 3pm in the afternoon she had sickness and diarrhoea and felt very unwell. Adele was on hand to assist kp. The nurses took some samples to check for infections. We'll know the results in a few days time.
I took the bike to the hospital as usual. By the time I got to the hospital, my shirt was ringing wet through with sweat. It's very hot under biking gear when its a hot day. I simply couldn't wear the shirt when it was so wet. So, I took it off and hung it out of the window. kp didn't want me walking around with no top on, and I didn't want to wear my shirt until it had dried out. So for the next 2 hours, I walked around Ward 22 with one of Karen's blouses on. I looked quite fetching if I say so myself ! ;-)
When I arrived at 3.30pm, kp was feeling better in herself. She still had very little appetite and had not eaten any lunch. She was quite talkative in the afternoon and had some good chats with Adele and myself, that was until Adele nearly choked on a Polo and went bright red whilst laughing to herself at her predicament. kp + I were nearly having coronaries.
kp:- Slap her on her back !
dp:- errr, ok.
dp slaps Adele hard on the back.
Adele laughs more while choking.
Adele survived.
Mum and Dad visited again today. kp was quite perky for their visit having recovered from her sickness earlier. Dad let the cat out of the bag for a surprise that may be coming Karen's way. Wendy (friend of the family who plays Cilla in Coronation Street) is rumoured to be getting some Coronation St. goodies (signed photos and things) for kp. But we didn't want to say anything to kp, as the surprise would have been better. There is also mention of something amazing from Wendy, but I don't want to mention it in the blog at the moment, because Dad managed to keep it under wraps after Mum and I hurled abuse at him for mentioning this topic at all.
I left a very tired kp at 8pm.
