Heart breaking.

Karen was in a LOT of pain towards the end of the day. She has really been trying to work hard at her gardening and it is making her body “a wreck”.

She wanted a bath as it sometimes eases her pains. After 15 minutes in the bath, it was time to get her out and she couldn’t sit up, it hurt too much – she spontaneously started crying. Real sobbing. It was so so sad to see her stuck in the bath, crying her heart out.

I comforted her as best as I could for about 5 minutes.

kp:- I have to get out.

So, with a big pull and a shriek of pain from Karen, we managed to get her sitting. At which point, she did a shuffle to sit back on the bath seat and she pushed the button to raise the bath seat.

The crying continued for a while, but she was tired and wanted to “get out of it”.

This morning (Saturday), we have had more tears.

kp:- I am sick of my body. It’s a wreck. It doesn’t do what I want it to do anymore.

I tried to tell her how much she had achieved this week etc etc, but it wasn’t enough for her and she wanted to do so much more.

She has gone back to bed (9am). Hopefully, when I get her up for the World Cup match, she will be feeling a bit brighter.
