Day 461 – Monday 31st July 2006
The Last Daily Blog
A cracking day today. Karen seems REALLY to be looking forward to tackling the upcoming days on her own, with me starting work tomorrow. Today, she tried to get dressed fully herself. No socks to do (too hot), so no problems there. But she came a cropper with the bra. Someone should invent a meccano set that can be surgically fitted to a woman to prop up the bosom area. There is a fortune to be made there. Would save so much time for all women and would save a small fortune in bras.
Anyway, she got it linked up around the middle and pulled it round and got one coconut in the hammock, but struggled with the other. Cue dp.
This shouldn’t be a problem generally as when I am not there she’ll just not put a bra on. If she is going out, she’ll probably persevere more and then ring me up for some advice.
I worked from home in the morning and kp slept until about 12pm. This afternoon, we went round the shops to post some letters, taking the dogs with us and then carried on a bit further to take them for a walk.
kp’s challenge for next week (according to her) is to go round to the shop on her own. Thankfully no roads to cross.
With that over, she phoned Angela (other lady from car crash) and had a long conversation with her.
More phone conversations took up her whole afternoon but she really enjoyed them.
I got a photo of Karen with BOTH thumbs up, indicating she is ready for me to go back to work……..
So, the last daily blog……..From now on, unless I can persuade Marie or Karen to write it, it will be weekly, probably sometime over the weekend.
Actually, I say that, I’ll probably not be able to resist doing it during my lunchbreak or something. We’ll see – assume weekly.
Big thanks to everyone who reads the blog and especially those who brave to comment. The comments really have spiced kp’s life up and helped her recovery.
