Day 69 – Wednesday 6th July – Part Two
kp slept a good part of the afternoon leaving Marie in crossword land.
The Prof (in charge of the whole Stroke Department) popped in to see how kp was progressing. He had big smiles and was very pleased with kp’s progress, saying he had had good reports from various people which is great to hear. He said that he felt kp was over half the way there. At this, kp’s eyes lit up. I think she thought he meant timewise rather than medical-wise.
kp ate well today generally. Still a few bowel issues which she has been prescribed an anti-biotic and “Ya” for. “Ya” is what is written down on Karen’s prescrption sheet and is short for something else. My turn to set the quiz Ronnie. All answers gratefully received. The winner of the “What is Ya short for ?” quiz receives absolutely nothing apart from a bit of blogcred. You will have heard of it. kp had some “Ya” tonight and didn’t like it but I think she will persevere.
Uneventful night with kp still suffering from aches and pains but less than this morning, so with a bit of luck, they will have gone tomorrow.

Hi all, just a small poem i was given today hope you think it fits the bill.
A the moment you may be thinking of how things used to be -
Before these trying times that have brought such misery,
Yet please stop and think a while of all that you have learned-
Of just how far you,ve traveled and all the corners you have turned.
So try always to remember
that this time wont always be,
For then you may look forward
To when you shall be trouble free.
It wont be long till then Margo

Hello Karen,
thanks for getting Dp to call, thank god I wasn’t going to work in London this morning. Working from home as I have a meeting in Surrey this p.m but its been cancelled due to the mayhem.
It’s 12.30 and I’ve accounted for almost everyone – still can’t get hold of our Stephen (Angela’s son). I can’t believe it – apparantly Moorgate was one of the stations hit which is literally on the other side of the road where I work. Liverpool St station is also a 5 minute spit from work. Everyone in my department is accounted for but don’t know about everyone else in the Red Cross.
I think all commuters in London would agree that they all knew it was going to happen, it was just a matter of when. Phils sh****g himself, he’s in Moorgate and fine, he’s planning on staying the night. He said he’s not getting on any f*****g train or bus.
Just as I’m blogging you Jane has sent a text asking if I’m fine. I need to meet up with our Karen tonight as she’s got Janes car keys, don’t know when or how she’ll get home. Karen is currently holed up in the office in Oxford street, she can’t get out.
I’m sat at my dinning table whatching the trains, can’t believe they are still running, the ones coming out of London are packed, the going in are empty.
Well thats enough about all of that onto the more important issue – you! Well we like what the Prof said. But you still must take it easy. All this physio stuff is slow but sure, yeh so go at their pace, only expect what they expect of you, no marathons yet OK.
Oh Dp this is a hard quiz! Ya could stand for:
“Ya alrite pet”
“Ya forgot me pint pet”
“Ya need to do the ironing pet”
I don’t think I’m hitting the right button – I’ll have to go away and think about this one. I’ll blog soon when I’ve worked out this Ya quiz. Wishing your aches and pains away.
Take care
Lots of love
Veronica
