Day 67 - Monday 4th July 2005 - Part One
Cracking Night Sleep last night. She said she slept from the last phone call she made to me (about 10pm) all the way through until 7.30am. Wahey !
She ate all her breakfast.
The bedbath was a bit of a let-down really, as I haven't cracked changing the sheets on my own. But I'll get there.
Unfortunately, the bedchair seems to be broken. I spent about 15 minutes trying to fix it while kp snoozed and then had to give in and report it broken. A nurse (Mr Vol au Vents) came over from Intensive Care to have a look but he came to the same conclusion.
Fingers crossed that we can get a replacement asap. kp was delighted it was broken as it meant she doesn't have to go in the chair for lunchtimes. I am devastated as it means I can't have a really good snooze.
We both had a bit of a snooze in the end and then the physios arrived. The senior physio worked on kp's weak arm/hand, doing lots of exercises and then finished off by asking kp to move her hand in various ways. She can
The senior physio then had to leave and the other physio worked on loosening up kp's legs. After about 10 minutes of leg work, the physio moved kp's right leg to a particularly high position and kp couldn't help but fart.
We all laughed (including kp)
kp :- Sorry
Physio :- Would you like one lump or two with that ?
More laughter.
dp:- That's going in the blog.
During the physio, the orthopedic registrar had come up to have a look at kp's bottom cheek wound that had the problems the previous night. So everything stopped as the physio and nurses moved kp so he could get a better look.
The nurse took the dressing off and the registrar examined the wound and pushed the outsides of it, and loads of the gunk oozed out. He did this for about a minute until no more exudate came out.
kp:- Is there lots coming out ?
nurse:- Not as much as last night
nurse:- But, it's better out than in.
Physio:- That's right isn't it Karen (referring to the farting episode).
kp got it instantly. It took me about 10 seconds to realise the humour. Doh !
The registrar is arranging for an x-ray to look at the wound from a different angle. Don't think it's anything to worry about.
Should know more later

- clench her fingers on request
- unclench them (but not quite as well as clenching them)
- bend her thumb at BOTH joints independently (which is good)
- identify which fingers he was bending
and - identify if they were in a bent or straight position when asked.
