Day 193 - Monday 7th November
What an AWFUL night. I thought we had cracked nights. How wrong I could be !
3 commode trips. One clearing up dog wee, because Bonnie (one of our 3 lady German Shepherds) was scared of the fireworks and wouldn't go out. It seems all my bitches have bladder issues ;-) Christ, I am gonna get it when kp reads that one ;-)
To make matters worse, I had to be up at the crack of dawn to get the dogs walked before I had to be at the dentist at 9am for a filling. When I got back, kp wanted to sleep some more, so she ended up getting out of bed about 11am.
She sent an email after breakfast and then we went for a 35 minute snooze. That's all the time we had before we had to leave for the hospital.
No sooner we were back at the hospital than it was time for physio. kp had had some pain in her groin area over the weekend. I thought it was wind, because she packs a Force 9 Gale for emergency embarassment. But the main man moved her hips, back, legs and sussed that it was to do with her right hip not having as much movement as it should. And because of this, the muscles in the groin (rightside) tighten up
He knows his stuff and it seemed spot on. He suggested some exercises that may help. She can do them in bed and they involve raising her right leg and moving it outwards and inwards in a certain fashion.
Physio over, I got kp dressed for bed (3.30pm) and left her watching TV as I went to start preparations for the big day - Coming home day :-)
PS - Click Here to see the video I promised over the weekend of Karen walking outside. When I see this, I think of Clive Dunn and the song he sang with the words "jacaded feet". Does anyone remember that song ?

If it helps, go to http://217.23.229.206/jpclient.exe?newQuery=newQuery for details of buses. There's a bus that takes you from Middlesbrough to Durham, then one that goes on to Esh Winning and drops you outside our house.
