Karen was in a lot of pain AGAIN after hydro. It really seems to hit her hard, but yet she feels nothing while it’s going on. She got up in the middle of the night to take some Diclofenac and Codeine (a cocktail she uses for breakthru pain) which doesn’t make it go away, but allows her to bear it.

She was up at 12.30pm.

Karen had a nice surprise in the post today. Mum (and Dad) had bought her a lovely heavy (therefore expensive, I think) gold necklace to cover her trachy scar. It was the perfect fit. She was over the moon. Thanks M+D.

We had the usual breakfast outside (lovely weather) and headed over to HS interiors in Middlesbrough to browse bathrooms. They have some lovely stuff there, and the chap had been out to measure up and had done some cracking 3D views of the proposed bathroom. Once he showed us the proposal, he took us round the proposed showers etc…

Here is kp when I locked her in a shower cubicle.

Shame about the price though ! £25,000 for 2 bathrooms I kid you NOT ! I remained calm(ish) and was then just anxious to leave. To be fair, it was a top notch bathroom, but we could buy a house for not much more.

Once that was over, we went to Jane (Burns) to see her new pup. He is lovely. Here is kp training him to sit. He is called Murphy (left) and Caffrey (his dad) is on the right. The other dog is Karen. I am gonna get it for that (in a year’s time !)

That’s it for today. We got back at 7pm and kp went straight for a lie down.
