Day 213 – Sunday 27th November
Karen’s New Tricks
I forgot to mention some achievements that kp has been dead chuffed about over the last couple of weeks.
About 2 weeks ago, she mentioned trick #1
She could wash her right hand with her left hand. She was keen to demonstrate it. I looked on. She was basically opening her left hand whilst rubbing her right hand around her left hand. It was a little sad to see, but the fact she is thinking about using it more (without prompting) is excellent.
Last night………..she announced that she could pull her right sleeve up her arm with her left hand. She basically used her left finger to hook the sleeve and 50% of the movement was her left hand holding the sleeve so it couldn’t move, and the other 50% was kp moving her right arm in the direction so her sleeve would go up.
It’s all things she couldn’t do a few weeks ago…….I am very pleased she is so chuffed at her new achievements.

Well Tracy and Margret can visit mine anytime, what with cleaning and home prepared food for the freezer, bloody marvellous.
Was over at Geraldines Friday
Went to Karen and Roys last night, they cooked a great 3 course meal. Showed them the Homecoming DVD, everytime another song came on our Karen went “Bloody hell, sob, sob, sob” and reached for another tissue. They both thought you looked brillian Karen and were certainly not expecting you to look as nimble etc when walking. Karen reckons it could be a top selling Christmas DVD, if released for charity. They send their love
Sounds like you are having a great weekend chilling out in Eshwinning.
Speak soon
Take care
Love
