kp in top form this morning.

She had woken up a few times during the night, but I was so pleased to hear she hadn’t been in any major pain since the morphine drip had been removed. She is back on the Fentanyl Patches (as of last night).Today, she had a real live shower. It was a bit awkward as she had her catheter bag trapsing round with her, plus a container with loads of blood and fat in it, so “faff” doesn’t begin to describe it – she got out of bed and back in without any major pain and really enjoyed her shower. It took it out of her however as she couldn’t be arsed with me doing her hair.

Later in the morning, the consultant came round and told her how pleased he was with her progress. She should be home on Tuesday, or maybe even Monday, if all goes to plan.

After his visit, the catheter was removed, as was the drain tube into her stomach PLUS the ven-flon in her right hand. So, she has nothing trapsing round with her now.

She has to get up for all meal times and for the loo, so it will do her the power of good.

Here is a picture of kp, taken having her morning tea………..

Thanks for the flowers mum and dad by the way !!

A few people have asked for the address, so to save my texting hand, here it is….

If you want to ring Karen, it’s 0191-415-1272 (Room 3).

I think she is getting a bit sick of me as a visitor. We seem to have nothing to say, and I seem to be snoozing at every possible opportunity. I think it is because I haven’t had a fag for a few days, and have also been off the caffeine as well. Well, that’s what I have put it down to.

Back tonight. She’ll probably be watching the women’s final today.
