Day 163 – Saturday 8th October
Well, last night was as expected with kp needing to get up 4 or 5 times during the night for the loo.
I am not sure if this is related to the bladder damage from the crash or just a case of needing to get used to being without a catheter. Time will tell……
We’ve had a cracking day today that aside.
We had breakfast outside. Tea and toast for kp. I did her 2 slices of toast and cut them into halves. She couldn’t balance the plate of toast on her lap whilst grabbing it with her right hand, so I put 2 pieces on her left leg, and 2 pieces on her right leg.
I went to do my toast and brought it out. Within minutes, she was asking for some of my toast which I duly gave her. I was pleased she had polished her toast off and had such an appetite.
About 5 minutes later, I noticed that she still had the 2 pieces of toast on her left leg and didn’t realise. When I pointed this out, she giggled and apologised for stealing mine.
Marie and Adele arrived about 1pm and we had a nice cup of tea with them before Marie, kp and I went to Costco for some supplies. It was packed. Marie wheeled kp and I wheeled the trolley.
Whilst we were away, Adele cleaned the house for us and did a spankingly good job. We had time for a cup of tea with her before she and Marie had to return home.
Saturday night consisted of Pizza and X-Factor and we had a really good night.
I just got kp ready for bed a few moments ago and knocked her nose twice while trying to get her t-shirt and blouse off. She wasn’t best pleased.
dp:- It’s not me, it’s your big conk !
Well, there are 2 ways that kind of statement goes down, thankfully, it won her over and she laughed and I don’t have a black eye.
She is tucked up in bed now and I am going to join her. She has took a tamazepam so fingers crossed she sleeps a bit better tonight and doesn’t need as many toilet breaks !
Tomorrow my mum and dad are coming over from Lancashire and bringing Lasagne for lunch

Well Karen,
as said before what a difference a week can make. Yet another startling week for you.
Last Friday night Donny!
This Friday night – out for a meal.
Although I’ve just called you, I thought I’d send a blog just to say it was just like old times me and you having a gas on the phone on a Sunday.
As David said on the blog the main man will be scrating his head, wondering what to throw at you next.
Forgot to tell you Irene’s enquiries now go like this.
1. Hows Karen? (Details are provided)
2. Oh and hows David? (Details are provided again)
She marvels at both of you and has a definite soft spot for David, how she would love to hug you both.
Not much happening at this end. Went out with Phil Friday night, to the little Italian on the High Street, do you remember it? Well we won’t be going back there again, the food just isn’t worth the price, but we still had a nice night.
Karen didn’t make it over to help with the stuff going in the loft, me thinks I’ll just get on an do it myself. The boxes are too heavy for my back so I’ll just unpack them and make more trips.
So any more thoughts on a get together with Jane one weekend?
Hope you found the webb site suitable, on second thoughts with you getting in the shower etc I think the inflatable bath gadget may be surplus to requirements.
Hope the rest of the gang are keeping well. Hello Marie, Michelle and Adele.
Here’s to another goood week.
Take care
Speak soon
Lots of Love
Veronica
