Day 141 - Friday 16th September
Had to take one of the dogs to the vet today, gammy leg, but because it was hot chicken day today I actually didn't arrive any later at the hospital.
We had a natter and then did the bath thing. No soak at all today, wasn't in the mood, I think she was excited about going home and wanted to get cracking with the day.
Bath over, chips delivered, we took into our Hot Chicken. kp wasn't in the mood for that either. And I had to eat her chips - hard life. Started to get a little concerned at this point.
Snooze time before physio (1.30pm). It was only 45 mins to snooze but every snooze helps. I was well ready for it. Both out like lights and at 1.40pm kp woke me saying we were late for physio. The main man doesn't work Fridays so it was his assistant who we really like and have a good natter with. Physio basically consisted of 3 prolonged stands while the assistant worked on kp's hands.
Once back in the room, we had some bladder issues where kp was uncomfortable with a full bladder and we couldn't work out why. But it seemed to sort itself out.
No time for snoozes before Deborah J. (one of kp's work colleagues) came in for a visit. She brought some lovely flowers and goodies for kp and we went for a nice cup of tea in the coffee shop. Marie and Glenn joined us before they jetted off to Crete for a week's WELL DESERVED holiday. Thanks Marie ! And Glenn for carrying the weekend's packing (for kp) down to the car.
On the way home, I popped in at Sainsburys for some shopping. kp waited in the car.
At home, the dogs made a nice fuss over kp, not as much as the other day, but kp was happy to see them.
It was a lovely sunny day, but a bit cool but she enjoyed a nice cup of tea outside nonetheless and we had a bit of a natter. kp has started to realise that being home isn't like before and she is feeling quite trapped, being totally reliant on me for pretty much everything.
Her feet were like blocks of ice, in fact, they are sometimes like that even at the hospital, so hot water bottle to the rescue. They took a bit of warming.
Pasta tonight for tea and then an early night I think. kp is very pale and has been delaying sleep for most of the afternoon to ensure a good night tonight. I won't have a problem sleeping for sure.
That's it for today. Just got your blogs Ronnie, going to read them out to kp who is in bed now, trying to get warm.
Will blog tomorrow night, time permitting.
