A better day today, but a sleepy and uneventful one.

kp got up about 1.15pm. We had breakfast outside and she had decided to have a relaxing day today. Her body was causing her problems today and she rightly felt that a “zero activity” day today was right. She was quite down for breakfast and it was all due to her pain.

With breakfast over, we went back to bed and got up about 5.15pm. I should say “I got up at 5.15pm”. kp had got up at 4.30pm, tried on all her holiday clothes (herself) and had a shower (herself). I was well impressed. She was feeling better in herself and she put it down to the lack of pain she felt since she woke up. Interestingly, today was a 100 Fentanyl patch today, so I wonder how much that had to do with the lack of pain.

Tonight feels like it will be a better night.

First of all, kp and I would like to send a big thanks out there to Blogland for everyone’s well wishes with regards Cleo. That includes everyone who emailed kp also !! Your thoughts and best wishes have been very well received by both kp and I.

Since the last blog entry, kp has been VERY busy around the house, maximising her body’s lack of pain. She has put a washing load in, emptied one on to the clothes horse, freshened up flowers (still growing strong Michelle) and tidied around the kitchen.

And she feels better for all of that. When she accomplishes things, no matter how small, she does feel so much better in herself. It’s a shame sometimes that her mental well-being is so tied to her physical well-being, but that’s life I suppose.

Keep it up kp ! She is on the phone at the moment to Jane (Burns). Jane had tried to blog for the first time minutes before the phone call but her laptop battery ran flat. This seems to be Jane’s life story. EVERY time she visits us, her mobile phone runs flat. I can’t recall a time when it hasn’t. kp and I have just been having a giggle at this.
