Well, after a lovely day yesterday at Lydia’s, kp was concerned that her 2 climbs to the top of Lydia’s stairs to get to the loo may cost her last night/today in pain. She was right. She was moaning loads of times during the night when she turned and I was surprised to hear her say (this morning) that she had had a good night’s sleep.

But, today she felt worse for the 2 flights of steps.

We picked Marie up at lunchtime in Durham to go shopping at Tesco. We had a nice lunch on our return.

In the mail, we had received a nice letter from my Aunty Sue including this photo taken on Boxing Day, while kp and I were down at my parents. It’s a great photo.

kp went to bed after lunch, while Marie kindly did the ironing and other jobs

That’s it for today. Tomorrow, we have a visit from the OT. kp has to think of things she wants to be able to do on her own (that she currently needs my help with). One of the main things kp used to do was to drive over to Middlesbrough to visit friends/relatives. Physically, she can’t drive at the moment (because she couldn’t change gear), but if we got an automatic car, she still feels scared at the thought of driving. She doesn’t trust herself because she doesn’t see things on the left. So we need to think of some more things tonight.

We also have the neuropsychologist coming round, so a bit of a busier day.
