Day 53 - Monday 20th June - Part Two
kp had a good afternoon with Jane Burns watching the tennis at Wimbledon. Strawberries and Cream (no champagne yet, didn't feel up to it).
Before I forget, there is something I should have put in this morning's blog relating to the physio. The physio has started to try and get kp to try and move on to her side by herself. She can't do it yet, but he has broken it into about 5 moves. She can do some of them herself, like lift her knees in the air, turn her head, move her arm, but she can't do the final move of the hips yet. When she cracks this, she will be laughing and less stressed. There seems to be very few people who can actually move her into a comfortable position. And if you are in a painful position for too long, it can be quite frustrating.
Weeping Wounds
One of the wounds on the back, which had been fine until today, has started weeping. It was dressed tonight along with her head wound, and a couple of front wounds. I don't know if the heat encourages the weeping, but all the wounds seemed to come out in sympathy with each other today.
Comfy Position then Sleep
When i arrived tonight, I immediately got kp comfy, and she went straight to snooze. She was knackered. But before she had time to sleep, Dave and Yvonne arrived. She snoozed for a bit, but then woke up for some good banter. kp was belly laughing at the fact that when she had mentioned earlier she felt sick, Dave had bolted straight for the door saying "Oh hell".
I don't think Dave is too compatible with hospitals. Yvonne went on to say that if she was ill in hospital, he'd be hopeless and would probably only come in the hospital to visit if he could plane the doors or something (he is a carpenter by trade).
kp had a good laugh at this.
