Day 282 - Saturday 4th February 2006
Well, we had a lovely meal with Tommy and Eileen. Karen had offered me some advice as to how she had once cured a lingering cold when she was a lot younger.
kp:- Yeah, I went out and got as drunk as a skunk, and the following morning it was completely gone.
I took a bit of that advice and aimed for that cure, but sadly could only consume 3 pints of the black stuff. It hasn't cured the cold, but stopped me whinging about it so much ;-)
Karen had "Fish and Chips" last night, as did Tommy and I. The portions were huge !!
Tommy and I followed the meal up with some games of Pool. It was a good evening.
Karen felt as rough as a dog this morning, not through alcohol I hasten to add. The days of having more than a pint of lager shandy on a nighttime seem to be over.
She got out of bed, headed for the shower, got all her clothes off, and then felt so bad, she had to go back to bed for an hour :-(
kp:- If I could have just had the shower, I would have felt a lot better.
We have deduced that the 75ug Fentanyl patch isn't enough. So, she was going back on the 100ug patch for the London Trip next week anyway, so hopefully tomorrow she will feel a bit more mobile. Without the right pain meds, she gets really stiff really quickly :-(
Very quiet day today. It was lovely outside, so I did some gardening while kp watched on, normally it's the other way round. Karen rang a very old friend today (the one we are going to see next week) and it brought SUCH a smile to her face. It was lovely to see. I got so much pleasure from seeing the depth of the joy in her face. She gave this friend the usual Karen "20 questions" treatment. The poor chap thought he was going for an interview.
That's it for today. Ice skating tonight.
