Day 41 – Wednesday 8th June – Part Two

by David Pollard — published on June 8th, 2005

I am sitting at the computer trying to remember what has happened tonight and am so exhausted I am really struggling to recall any events.

This is NOT a call for sympathy.

ok……A student nurse (Z) came into Karen today (should have written this in Part One), and I instantly recognised her as being an ex-work colleague. She looked as pretty as ever and it was great to see her. The last thing I remember about her was that she was jacking in her sales job, and going to retrain as a nurse. It was kinda weird to see her coming to tend to kp and not selling her a computer training course. Nice one Z.

Marie told me a few things that happened in the afternoon. She had heard the nurse naming the infection kp has in another wound, it began with P and my task for the evening was to find out the name but I forgot. Something like Popperdopulous.

It has been a very hot day today, and kp’s room was sweltering. No Mains Electric Fans allowed, but we are allowed a battery fan, which sounds like Concorde on takeoff. kp can only stand it on for 5 mins before the noise irritates her too much.

kp had managed to stay in the chair for 45 mins today, her coxxix was killing her (sorry if the spelling is wrong), but she means the bottom of her back.

I asked kp to do a few tricks with her left arm today, but I could only get the slightest movements compared with yesterday. Not worried about this. She was on Diazepam for the afternoon and evening and it really knocks her out. It takes all her concentration to move her left arm, and she didn’t have any left for today.

Since the accident, kp has been getting various words wrong. Some of the times this can be quite funny. Today, I asked her where the pain was and she replied

kp:- It’s in my slabs

She meant her calfs (of her legs). They probably feel like slabs to her.

Not the best of evenings generally, lots of bowel movement issues which were causing kp quite a bit of distress. Another enema and glycerin suppository provided some relief. Shortly after this, she had her Tamazepam and when I left she was asleep.

If I think of anything key that I have missed out, I will add it in a future blog, but generally it has been an uneventful night.

    Hi Karen,
    I’m at work and bored!! And there’s you in pain, sweating in your hot room, doing physio, taking tablets, hopefully not throwing up and on top of that I decide to send you a quiz.

    I think a recording of David singing the song titles to you would amuse us bloggers no end. Come on Dp show us what your tonsils are made of!

    These titles are pre our disco’s days, that is the days before hair tongs, boob tubes, bright blue eyeshadow, big hair flicks and port and lemons (can’t believe we drank that). I think these titles are more from the days of Chelsea Girl and our really wide trousers with high waist bands (obviously with a packet of ten Number 6 and matches stuffed down my trouser leg till I could hide the fags in the bedroom – walking with a limp through the living room so the matches didn’t rattle).
    I thought we’d start off simple, I supply titles, Dp sings title (while recording himself), you give Dp the name of the singer or band. He blogs back to me and I confirm answers this weekend. No cheating with the others!

    Quiz sent – June 9th

    1. I’m The Leader Of The Gang
    2. Get It On
    3. Maggie May
    4. Blockbuster
    5. Sugar Baby Love
    6. Bye Bye Baby
    7. Son Of My Father
    8. Gonna Make You A Star
    9. January
    10. See My Baby Jive
    11. Metal Guru
    12. Angel Face
    13. Dancing On A Saturday Night
    14. Can The Can

    Replies via the blog please I’ll give you the answers on Sunday or sooner if you want. No reply means its a naff idea, no problems if you think its naff. I’ll “blog off” now, speak to you later.
    Love
    Veronica

    Hi kp & dp,
    I’m still laughing!!!! :-)
    Don’t be signing any contracts yet, you are right the worlds not yet ready for you both! And I said no asking the others and kp ends recording with, “oh we’ll wait till the others come” :-) :-) Got to say Karen, you were totally miss guided by David (he was singing the wrong song) for the “January” title (Barabara Dickson!!) then “the others” come up with 10cc.

    It was Pilot, it goes like “January sick and tired you’ve been hanging on me etc”

    Dp’s rendition of Angle face had me in kinks – Baby face, where did that come from!

    WELL DONE KP 13 OUT OF 14!
    Lots of Love
    Veronica
    P.S It’s Barry Blue :-) :-) :-)
