Day 188 - Wednesday 2nd November

Fast asleep when I arrived this morning just before 10am.

She complained have not getting to sleep until 7.15am :-(

We met with the DOD physio after the bath. We went for a walk to the steps, where kp went down a flight and back up a flight of stairs. There were a couple of wobbles along the way, and a "nearly fell". She was never in any danger however with both of us either side kp. When she nearly stumbled, I leapt forward as if to catch her which made her laugh. Not that I was panicking ! ;-)

dp:- Don't panic Mr Mainwaring ! (said in an unusually good Dad's Army voice if I do say so myself)

Normally my voice impressions are well off. My Irish accent is regardest as one of the best Pakistani/Urdu voices around.

kp was in stitches and for a couple of minutes could do nothing but stand half way up the stairs.

Physio over, we went to Costco, WHSmiths, M&S & BHS. kp hated the experience. She finds it very frustrating being in the wheelchair when she is shopping. People are very understanding, but it is the fact I go past things, and she wants to feel things etc etc...

After 2 hours of shopping, the marriage was still secure however, so it can't have been that bad. In fact we even went looking for an "eternity" ring. It's my present to kp for her birthday. Unfortunately, after trying loads of rings on, it was clear we would need to wait until kp's left hand swelling goes down. Her sizes are all to pot and we can't get her other rings off to see what sizes they are.

When we arrived back, we went straight to sleep and we were both out like lights.

Tonight kp was going to have a pizza night with Jane and Marie, but there has been a bad accident on the A19 and after 40 minutes stuck on the A19, they have decided it is probably best to leave it for another night.
