Day 226 - Saturday 10th December
Abbie and Marie were up early. Abbie amused herself drawing whilst Marie did some housework (thanks Marie !).
Marie did a fryup for us all, which was lovely. She even cut the fat off the bacon - a real cook !! Once Marie and Abbie had left, kp and I went for a new toaster (our old one kept blowing the house circuit, leaving us powerless). We didn't take the wheelchair (FOR THE FIRST TIME !). It was just, me, kp + stick, and although she was very slow, she did the whole thing without the wheelchair.
It's quite good having someone disabled with you actually, 'cos I can whip out the disabled badge and park right next to the shop. And if anyone's in the way, you can just shout "Excuse me, Disabled person coming through".
Well, you can shout "Excuse me" and let them see kp's slow walk and they get the drift. :-)
We got our toaster and because of Marie's big mouth, we had to get a George Foreman Grill. Although the man in the shop looked a bit confused when I asked him where his "George Formby" grills were. kp laughed.
Once home, we both had a snooze until the evening's entertainment commenced. We thoroughly enjoyed our Saturday night.
kp had her new 100mg Fentanol Patch on yesterday lunchtime and her Saturday night sleep was excellent. She can definately feel the benefit. So, I think she will be staying on the 100mg Patches.
