Day 351 – Friday 14th April 2006
Cracking day today.
We were expecting the worst given kp’s speed walking yesterday, but she managed to overcome the pain to enjoy a good day.
She didn’t get up until 1.50pm and needed help getting out of bed. It reminded us of the days when I used to have to pull her up from the bed every time.
Once up, we enjoyed breakfast outside in the glorious bank holiday weather. We had planned a few things today because a day with nothing on can be very demoralising for kp. Today, it was “walk a dog”, plan a bathroom design and watch “Acorn Antiques – the musical” on dvd.
We changed walking a dog to walking 3 dogs. The dogs thought they were heaven with a second walk in the middle of the day
Here is kp with Cleo. I actually walked the 3 dogs, but gave her Cleo for the photo. Elsa got the blog camera time last time !
kp wanted to make the walk longer so we ended up doing about 1/2 a mile. On the way back, kp had to do a 6 foot stretch of the walk at a 45′ angle. It knacked her (kp ‘s words). If that had been at the beginning of the walk, we would have gone straight home. She really struggled and I had to put all my weight behind her to get her up.
Very nice walk.
With the walk over, we went straight into bathroom planning. That kept us both mentally taxed for 30 minutes.
We then went outside with the dogs in the back garden to enjoy a lager and lager shandy for 30 minutes.
Here’s the dogs ………..
and here’s kp………..
By this stage, kp’s every movement was causing her pain, so she had to retire
kp:- I am not going to sleep, I just need to rest my body.
I nearly spat my drink out.
Well, I can hear snoring from the next room, but I can’t say I am surprised.
That’s it for today
Acorn Antiques tonight
