I was 15 minutes late today. Knowing kp would worry, I phoned the Ward Clerk and asked her to pass on the message that I would be late. It didn’t get passed on. kp was starting to worry. I was annoyed.

kp felt in good form today. She was full of life. She ate a piece of toast and drank some tea. The Sister came in to talk about the amount of food kp is eating. She was worried that she wasn’t eating enough and that if she didn’t eat more, her wounds wouldn’t heal quickly. The talk did good and kp polished off ALL her lunch. In the meantime, the housekeeper came in with about 10 different types of supplement build-up meals for Karen to try in case she ever didn’t fancy a meal. That was very kind of her. The Sister is also contacting the dietician to discuss other possibilities.

As soon as Wimbledon started, kp started watching it on the TV. I am very relieved she can watch Tennis on the TV, as it would have been very upsetting for her and the family if she hadn’t have been able to see the ball and enjoy her sporting highlight of the year.

No physio in the morning, it must be this afternoon.

The Policeman that attended the accident scene came this morning with the photographs from the accident. He couldn’t leave them with me as they are possible evidence if it goes to full jury trial.

They weren’t as shocking as the photos Kevin took as they were more distant shots showing where the vehicles were. The only surprising thing (to me) was how wrecked the 3rd vehicle was. Kevin’s car (the one kp was in) was hit by the van, Kevin’s car then hit another car, which then hit another car. This third car was a total write-off (as were all vehicles), but there was no boot left. It’s amazing how much energy the cage on Kevin’s Laguna must have passed on to the other vehicles. We are lucky it didn’t crumple further.

Shortly after the policeman came, Marie came to take over and brought Louisa (her granddaughter). kp loved seeing her, but Louisa was a bit wary of Karen in a wee-willy-winky hat. But after 5 mins was relaxed enough for cuddles.

Marie had a good afternoon with kp watching Wimbledon and Karen was in good form.

The physios visited for a brief session today. The physio told kp that the reason they didn’t have so much time was they were getting someone ready for discharge.

kp:- Is it me ?

LOL.

When I got home, I had a huge A1 sized “Do Not Bend” envelope waiting on the doorstep. Thank God, the postie hadn’t managed to post it, as no doubt Bonnie would have eaten half of it.

It was the goodies Wendy promised. There was a Coronation Street poster signed by the cast.

And an extra one from Wendy

Thanks very much Wendy – it is much appreciated !!!

kp was cream crackered on the night and would fall asleep mid-sentence. It was so funny.

dp:- So, how did Henman do today ?
kp:- He did well. He won. He’s playing…………….

Gone !
