Day 94 - Sunday 31st July - Part One
Arrived an hour early today to kp's surprise.
kp was in positive mood. Had eaten a good breakfast and wanted a bath.
She suggested I check with the sister that it was ok to have a bath.
kp:- Go and ask X. Say "Is it ok if Karen pops for a bath ?"
dp:- Karen, I know how to ask X if you can have a bath or not ?
Karen started laughing at the fact she had given me the exact words to say. I started practicing to myself :-
dp:- Is it ok if Karen POPS for a bath ? Is it ok if Karen POPPPPPS for a bath ? Is it OK if Karen pops in the bath ?
I left the room to ask X the question, kp was laughing out loud and I could hear her down the hallway !
Needless to say it was ok, and kp enjoyed the bath.
kp now likes to sit up in the chair to put her own nighty on. I was keen to get her to sit upright (no back support).
dp:- Do you want to sit upright or slouch ?
kp:- I'd rather slouch.
dp:- It will be easier if you sat upright.
kp:- I want to slouch.
kp ran into difficulties with the nighty. It was caught on her left little finger, but she kept pulling it as if it was just stuck and needed lots of pulling so I advised her accordingly.
dp:- It might be easier if you sit upright.
kp:- Will you stop going on about sitting upright !
dp:- Why do you have such a problem with sitting upright ?
kp:- Sometimes I just want to do things certain ways and today I want to slouch.
Fair enough ! :-) It was a good humoured conversation and kp said she would explain why she wanted to slouch later in the morning, but we forgot to talk about it.
She dried her own hair today. She forgets quite a lot about her left side, so her right hair was lovely and dry, some would say toasted. Her left side was damp still. I reminded her about the left side and she sorted it.
After this, we went to sleep for an hour. She skipped lunch, simply 'cos she wasn't hungry.
Sue (from work) is visiting this afternoon and my dad is coming up also.
