I was pleased to hear kp had had a good sleep as I had left her in a bit of pain.

Not much to report from this morning.

We saw the doctor about kp’s breakthrough pain, and he has upped the Fentanol Patch to 100mg. That should do the trick we hope. kp was very subdued today, and hardly speaking at all.

She wanted a bath but not for the pleasure of it, more for the effectiveness of a real bath over a bedbath.

The bath was a real trial for kp. I couldn’t find the hoist canvas bit that goes under kp and lifts her out of bed. So we had to make do with a portable hoist one which requires a different hoist. I moved kp around to fit that, and then the nurse that came round said we couldn’t use that. She went looking for a real hoist canvas and found one on a different ward. We turned kp twice to get that in place etc blah blah blah.

The bath itself was just as trying for various reasons and poor kp was knackered by the end of it.

As soon as kp was back in her room and comfy she was out for the count.

She didn’t want to wake up for lunch but was persuaded and wolfed down some nice Gammon and Sponge and Custard for dessert.

Fast asleep after lunch within minutes
