Day 41 – Wednesday 8th June – Part One
Karen had slept well, but been in a lot of pain when she woke up.
It is very difficult to get the right blend of pain/nausea medication. It seems the balance has shifted from nausea to pain. No sickness at all, but kp is constantly in pain.This challenge continues today. kp is going to try Diazepam today to see if that helps.
Not much to report from this morning.
Bedbath, New Nighty.
Both kp + I slept for an hour or so.
Her limbs had stiffened up a bit since last night, so I did a bit of physio to try and loosen them up.
The Doctor came to report that the E.Coli infection is on the wane thanks to the Amoxycillin IV drip, which is great.
That’s about it.
I got called into the visitor’s room for another meeting about the blog. This time it was the physios who were concerned about identifying them by one of their initials. And also one of the physios felt that yesterday’s Part One made it sound like they were giving kp too much pain. Neither kp + I believe this to be the case. We think they are doing a sterling job and to be fair I think the blog reflected this, but to save any upset, I have anonymised the Physios initials and toned down the specific comment that was referred to in the meeting.

Hi Karen,
go steady with that phone, Dp will be constantly topping it up now you are away with it.
As said before Diazepam – great stuff, it also helps relax muscles, apparantely. Hope you have sweet Diazepam dreams tonight(Wednesday). I know how your limbs feel when they’ve stiffend up – I’m just the same after the gym, yeh your right “what gym?”
Well Dp you’ve been called to task twice this week – was it the same when you were at school.
Take care you two
Here’s to more belly laughs tomorrow
Love
Ronnie
