Day 106 - Friday 12th August
Picked up a hot chicken from Sainsburys again. By the time I arrived, it gave us only 90 mins for a bath before lunch, so we got straight into it.
It was a nice relaxing bath lasting an hour and by the time we were done, we had time to chat before chicken and chips :-) Just before lunch, the dietician came in. She had come to discharge kp from her care. kp was pleased. It means she is eating ok now and this is no longer a worry. One down.
I had some good news for Karen this morning. I was speaking to Eileen (our ace neighbour) and she was saying that her daughter had been speaking to Karen's hairdresser (Liz) and that she wanted to visit kp and if she wanted her hair doing, she would do it. Well, this couldn't have come at a better time. kp has been saying for the past week how her hair needs some style to it. All I do when she gets out of the bath is dry it and comb it. She either gets a side parting or a comb back, because that's all i can do. When I say to her that "I can comb it in different directions if you like", she just says "there's nothing you can do, the style has fallen out of it". To me, she is speaking a foreign language.
So, I spoke to Liz today and we are all set for Tuesday. kp is realling looking forward to seeing her. I am pleased for her.
Lunch was lovely. After lunch kp was tired, so she went for a snooze. I did some Su Doku before feeling a bit tired myself. kp was asleep by 1pm, I went about 1.30pm. We didn't wake up until 3.40pm. Cracking 40 winks ! We had slept all the way through physio. According to the physio, she had been and gone 3 times and didn't want to disturb our beauty sleep. :-)
The "main man" physio was away today, so the other physio came to kp's room and did lots of stuff with her left arm. Whenever they do work to the left arm, it eases the pain that kp gets when her left arm is moved around. So hopefully tonight she will have less pain.
We had a natter until Marie and Glenn arrived and that's it for today.
Tomorrow my sister + family are coming up. Only one blog entry tomorrow and it will be late because of the shift patterns.
