Day 694 – 696. Mon 26th to Wed 28th March 2007
Not a good start to the week. On Monday, Jane, Ronnie and Karen went to see Jane’s new house. With 5 toilets, 4 bathrooms and a double sink (private joke), it is a big house to get round. I told kp before she went that I was concerned about the stairs.
But, she decided to look upstairs anyway when she got there. She took it a step at a time, had a look round and then came down a stair at a time, but backwards.
Yesterday, she was in agony.
kp:- This is as bad as it was the night before the hip replacement.
Most of the night, I wheeled her round in the wheelchair, she really couldn’t walk. I was annoyed with myself for not being more forceful about the stairs issue. I am sure that is what caused the problem. The commode is back in the bedroom again as well.
She had gone back upto 100ug patch from Monday night, but last night, as well as codeine, diclofenac, paracetamol and gabapentin, we had to up the patch to 150ug.
Now, a bit of good news, although this could be a dream. She got up in the night for something, and I think I asked her if it was any better. I think she said “a little”. Now, that could have all been a dream, but fingers crossed it wasn’t.
