Busy week.

Monday saw kp and I attend the Orthopedic Clinic at the University Hospital, Durham. This was the 6-weekly checkup after the hip op. X-rays were taken and we got to sneak a look at them. It looked SO much better than previous x-rays. You could clearly see a beautiful metal hip, compared to a real brittle look to the old bones she had there. He told kp he thought her walking was a bit wooden.

But we are used to that. She is going to be put forward for some physio, which is good.

Tuesday and Wednesday saw bathroom people visit to look into new bathrooms (kp’s next project).

Thursday was a terrible night. I am not permitted to go into why, but when kp reads this back, she will remember why. Certainly, it’s something I will never forget. ’nuff said. No questions please ! Need to record these things when it comes to the claim.

Friday saw Veronica and Jane come up. Ronnie and kp had their hair done on Saturday morning. And then we had a chinese on the night. Thanks for coming ladies.

Pain-wise, kp has been up and down. We had run out of the right kind of patch at the start of the week, so pain was getting the better of her. Lots of codeine, diclofenac and paracetamol were needed. Eileen picked up the prescription and she is back on the good patches now, so fingers crossed, we see her go back to the way she has been for the past couple of weeks.

This week, we have the social worker coming tomorrow morning (9.30am) and Thursday sees kp’s bosses + a personnel manager (3 in total), coming to sack her.

Should be fine.

The good news of the week is kp has been approved for “ill health retirement”. What that means we are not exactly sure, but it should mean she should get her pension early, we think.
