Good Night’s Sleep

Ate Good Breakfast

Speedy bedbath ‘cos kp + I were both knackered. By 10am, we were both snuggling up in our seperate beds for a snooze. Apparently I was snoring. At 11.45am, we were woken by the physio who did a few moves with kp before we all got her into the chair.

Quite an uneventful morning.

I had to leave early today, but hopefully kp will have polished off her Fish and Chip Lunch.

The Doctor did his rounds this afternoon. He’d come round in the morning, but he had seen kp and I fast asleep and didn’t want to disturb us. He is a nice man and was just checking kp was not in pain or feeling sick.

She slept a good part of the afternoon and was fast asleep when I arrived. I tried to creep around her room quietly and not wake her up, but everything I touched seemed to make a noise. Marie went from smiling to laughing at my attempts to be quiet. Within 2 minutes of arriving I had woke her up. I couldn’t be a mime artist.

kp ate a bowl of soup and tried a sausage from her sausages and mash which was brave of her, as I love sausages and wouldn’t have touched it. She has eaten ok overall today, with lots of fruit snacks provided by Marie.

Nigel and Terry visited this evening, and we had a good laugh together. kp was in good form and really benefited from their company.

I did my first dressings tonight – wahey !! I was turning kp when I noticed one of the dressing on a bed sore on her back had come off. I was already going to redo her head one as it had come off also. I asked the nurse for some adhesive allevyns, a non-adhesive allevyn and a dressing pack. And she was happy for me to do it – yay. I really appreciate doing it myself. I get bored sitting around and I know how kp likes it doing ie. Preparation first, and dressing done as fast and efficiently as possible. I am not boasting when I say kp is more comfortable with me doing it than Mrs Overall.

If they do any more surgery on kp (unlikely), I am going to ask if I can do it. Can’t be too hard. I can say “Scalpel nurse” in a posh voice. Nay worries ! Let’s gan on and cut wor Karen up Noorse and then will gan to the pub for a bottle of Newcastle Broon Ale. Way aaaaaayyyy Man.
