Day 188 – Wednesday 2nd November

Fast asleep when I arrived this morning just before 10am.

She complained have not getting to sleep until 7.15am :-(

We met with the DOD physio after the bath. We went for a walk to the steps, where kp went down a flight and back up a flight of stairs. There were a couple of wobbles along the way, and a “nearly fell”. She was never in any danger however with both of us either side kp. When she nearly stumbled, I leapt forward as if to catch her which made her laugh. Not that I was panicking ! ;-)

dp:- Don’t panic Mr Mainwaring ! (said in an unusually good Dad’s Army voice if I do say so myself)

Normally my voice impressions are well off. My Irish accent is regardest as one of the best Pakistani/Urdu voices around.

kp was in stitches and for a couple of minutes could do nothing but stand half way up the stairs.

Physio over, we went to Costco, WHSmiths, M&S & BHS. kp hated the experience. She finds it very frustrating being in the wheelchair when she is shopping. People are very understanding, but it is the fact I go past things, and she wants to feel things etc etc…

After 2 hours of shopping, the marriage was still secure however, so it can’t have been that bad. In fact we even went looking for an “eternity” ring. It’s my present to kp for her birthday. Unfortunately, after trying loads of rings on, it was clear we would need to wait until kp’s left hand swelling goes down. Her sizes are all to pot and we can’t get her other rings off to see what sizes they are.

When we arrived back, we went straight to sleep and we were both out like lights.

Tonight kp was going to have a pizza night with Jane and Marie, but there has been a bad accident on the A19 and after 40 minutes stuck on the A19, they have decided it is probably best to leave it for another night.

    Hi ya Karen,
    thinking of calling but I’m guessing Marie is with you, but will call later – if you are still awake :-)

    Hello!! Pyshio and shopping in one afternoon, what are you two up to?? Glad to hear the marriage is still in tack. The pair of ain’t doing nothing in halves, best way I reckon.

    Karen I am quite happy to go shopping with you both, to give guidance to Dp, in terms of timing and feeling of objects/clothing.

    Sorry to say that I’m not too sure if I can make it next week, as I’ll be waiting for pay day – which is the following week. Therefore I thought that it may be better if I made the trip the following week. After all you’ll have plenty of visitors at the bloggers party and perhaps not so many afterwards. Also we can arrange some outings together, physio allowing. Well whatever we’ll see how it goes.

    Just to say your pert arse is looking as good as last week. I must say that I think Dp has never taken so many pictures of your bum, as he has in the last 2 weeks. Keep climbing those stairs kiddo. Crimbo is around the corner and you need to be fit for it.

    As discussed you need to fill your time and everyone arriving at once does not help, but never forget that I will do whats best.

    Take care – I had an indepth conversation with Irene about the weekend and your unbelievable progress. She really, really does think you are a STAR!!! She can’t wait to see you sometime. Having said that, when she finallhy meets David, he will not know what has hit him. Big cuddles from Irene as always.

    Speak soon,
    Take care my friend
    Lots of Love
    Veronica (Ronnie)
