Day 245 - Thursday 29th December

Treacherous conditions outside, so just as well we have supplies to last us through the day. I met Tommy on the dogwalk and he told me a woman lost control of her car on the bend approaching Esh Winning. She had 4 kids in. The car went into the beck (a drop of about 10 feet). All are ok apparently, although the last kid is still in hospital.

Uneventful day. kp couldn't see very well today. She has days like this. She was checking her email and surfing the web and it got too much for her and I had to take over. We have an optician appointment for her in the New Year, so hopefully that will ease things a bit. The pain is more in check today which is good.

We need to try and get kp down a patch level. She is currently on the top whack of fentanyl patches (morphine-based), and she is tired a lot of the time. I think things may improve if we can go to 75ug/h level. Have put the idea in her head.

We are supposed to have had a phonecall interview today about kp's mean testing. It hasn't come yet (4.20pm). kp has been asleep most of the afternoon.

Not much else to tell.
