A good night’s sleep which is a relief.

Taken the new antibiotic form today so no vomiting issues.

But we had a bit of sadness and tears this morning. kp was very subdued, and eventually she told me how fed up she was. We had a good chat about how this has changed our lives, the pros and the cons and how we’d tackle it. It was positive and a good outcome as the rest of the morning kp was chirpy and gagging for THE BATH !

She loved it. The nurse removed the dressing over the buttock wound leaving a load of padding shoring up the wound. She said it might come out during the bath, but it wasn’t anything to worry about. It came out, leaving a cavernous hole. But, it didn’t seem to affect the bath enjoyment. It was redressed afterwards.

Sleep followed the bath and then Marie arrived for the afternoon shift.

Not much else to report.

I came back on the evening shift to see a kp in her chair looking very excited. I could tell she was pleased to be able to surprise me being in the chair. It was lovely to see and I wasn’t expecting it. She also had some news she was very excited about – namely, that she has been weighed and is over the moon with the result.

I had to guess and suffice to say I was out by more than 2 stone !!!

kp weighs in at ……………….

Just under 9 stone. She was thrilled at this.

Sam visited today. The real one, no decoy ! kp thoroughly enjoyed her afternoon with Marie and Sam. After they left, we went outside for a bit, but in no time at all, her cocchyx was hurting and we were back in bed.

Few tears tonight when I showed her a video of the dogs. I do this over and over again. I say I won’t show her anything to with the dogs again because she cried last time, and I do it again Idiot !

Anyway, thankfully the tears/upset were shortlived.

Marie and kp had been having talks in the afternoon and it appears the shifts may be changing. I won’t be required until 10am, and can leave at 4pm. And Marie can come a lot later and not stay as long. It sounds great and kp seems happy with it.

We’ll give it a few days before we kick it into place.

About 7.30pm tonight kp started to be in pain again

She had Diclofenac and then 30 mins later a Tramadol and I left her comfyish ! We even tried putting kp on her front, but that didn’t work out. It wasn’t painful, just not comfy. Fingers crossed she has a good night’s sleep.
