Another storming day for kp, with pain well in check.

Her new pain patches went on today, and she was already feeling good when she woke up. We had a visit today from the PC who has been our contact for the case against the chap who caused the accident.

He came to take another statement from her to see how she is getting on, which will be used in court to try and persuade the judges not to lessen his sentence. Apparently, he either wants less community service or a lesser driving ban. This is heard in a Crown Court apparently, so kp and I intend to be there. kp was quizzing the PC about what would happen if she stood up and gave him “what for” in the courtroom. Apparently, that is not the wisest thing to do, as she would get told off by the judge or possibly held for “Contempt of Court”. I don’t think it deterred her too much though, so that should be a fun day.

We will be selling tickets for Karen’s performance in due course. What pisses us off is that he thinks he has been unfairly treat. We hope he goes to court and leaves with a longer sentence.

The PC was here a good couple of hours and we had a good chat with him about the accident and “justice”.

With that over, it was time for hydro. An extra long hydro today given her lack of pain. kp worked very hard and ended up needing a long weightless soak to finish off. Go Karen Go !

It’s great to see Karen so positive. Her mood is so linked to pain, we really NEED to keep on top of it.

With that over, it was time for the England match, which kp watched whilst phoning friends.

That’s our day.

From the 31st July, I am going back to work on a full-time basis. This should give kp time to have her week in hospital and more than 2 weeks bed rest with hubby pampering. From that point on, blog updates may be less frequent, but I do intend to keep it up at LEAST on a weekly basis. We are going to be putting in place a care package for Karen between now and then to ensure she has help for all the things she still can’t do (bra, socks, hairdrying, swimming costume (hydro), driving places, walking dogs etc etc…)

I start my new job next week on a part time basis, so the reduction in frequency of blogs may start from as early as next week, but I’ll do my damnedest to keep everyone upto date. I am not working the 3 weeks from July 6th when Karen is in hospital and the 2 weeks after.

I’ll finish with a photo of kp taken today. Who would have thought you could get a disabled poopa scoopa ?
