She’s home !

Her pain is so “in check” at the moment. I thought (as did Karen) she would be in agony, but she only really feels the pain when she is doing a movement, like getting up, getting down etc…

We had decided to try and get her home yesterday. Everything she was doing yesterday we could do from home, so it seemed pointless her being in hospital.

When I arrived (at 8am), she was eating her breakfast sat on the side of the bed. I showered and dried her hair and we decided she should wear “going home” clothes to sell the “going home” concept to the consultant. She looked great.

We remembered him saying he would be in at 11am, so kp sat in the armchair, hoping to last out until 11am, but about 10am, she just wanted to sleep.

At 11am, we started the long wait for the consultant. kp got so frantic at the wait, we decided to go for a walk around the corridors. Here is kp on our walkabout…………

By the way, the surgeon took 2kg off kp’s body weight.

After more frantic waiting, the surgeon eventually came about 12.30pm. He examined her and then said……..

Surgeon :- Yes, everything is looking great. You can go home tomorrow.

kp :- TOMORROW !

Surgeon :- Why, did you want to go home today ?

kp:- Well, that would be nice !

I don’t think he would have got out of the room if he hadn’t agreed to it, anyway, we’d packed and everything

Once home, kp and I watched the men’s final – went for a kip, and came back to watch the final set. kp’s thermostat is not working at the moment – she is hot one minute and freezing the next. At the hospital, I must have opened and closed the window a 100 times.

At home, I had to put the fire on, put kp’s “hot socks on” and even then she wanted my jumper round her shoulders !

Anyway, she’s glad to be home.
