Mentally, kp’s mood has been on a downward trend towards the end of the week, resulting in lots of tears on Saturday.

She keeps comparing herself to my mum who had her hip replaced last September.

kp:- What was your mam doing by this time ?

kp:- When do you think I will be walking properly ?

kp:- When will I be able to get on the sofa without your help ?

kp:- I really want a bath, I am cold to me bones, but I can’t. When will I be able to have a bath do you think ?

Saturday it came to a head. She was sick of walking at a snail’s pace, sick of needing me to get changed etc….And we had lots of tears.

I booked us in for sunday lunch to try and get her out of the house and a nice meal in her. But Sunday, she decided she didn’t want to go. So, I pampered her as best I could. I dried her down after her shower, did her hair for her etc etc…

I offered to take her up the drive and we could go and visit Tommy and Eileen next door. She was keen to get outside. Here is a photo of her on the drive.

And for those with Quicktime installed, you can CLICK HERE to see a video of her before she was blown over by the wind.
