From strength to strength.

Physio came round this morning. She has been walking around the room with her zimmer (with wheels). Very slow, but can get from a to b where (c = b- a & c<5m) which is important if you want to go for a p where p=loo.

Angela (fellow car crash victim) visited today. She looked great. Here are the 2 of them.....

Marie missed her bus, but I spoke to the brothers in the house (sister on the ward) to arrange that she could stay later than visiting with her homie. (sister).

Very hectic day at work today, and I was pleased I could get away a bit early to crack on.

Tonight, kp was again on top form, watching something on the tv when I arrived. She was reluctant to turn it off when I got there and kept taking sneeky peeks.

dp:- How rude ! (imitating Karen telling me off when I get distracted).

She got the point. Although she still kept looking to catch the ending. Different rules for her though. When I get distracted, it’s “do you not care about me ? Is TV more important ?”. But when kp gets distracted, then “she is just catching the ending” – that’s ok. Women !

Alarming but funny thing happened this afternoon according to kp. Another lady came back from the theatre, but every so often she would stop breathing. kp said she was dead funny and is dead relaxed about everything. The nurses would rush around her and shout at her to “Keep breathing Sally  !!”.

Sally (name changed) :- Eee, sorry, I keep forgetting.

Another one happened while I was there. Sally started vomiting with her oxygen mask on. The nurses rushed round to make sure she didn’t breath it in. About 30 seconds later, Sally was laughing…..

Sally (laughing):- Eeeeee, most of it went back down.

Takes all sorts ! She is going to ask the physio when she can go home tomorrow, because she can get to the loo now, and we are not sure what else they are looking for.
