Well, pleased to report that things improved as the week progressed. Although her appetite remains poor, she has took my advice to treat food as medicine, and has been eating enough to give her energy to move around.

Adele couldn’t make it on Tuesday as she herself was ill. Sod’s law, the one day we really needed her, she couldn’t make it. kp was very weak and didn’t eat a thing. I think she was tempted by a chip buttie on the night time. Wednesday saw some improvement and then it seemed to continue from there on.

We postponed hydrotherapy on thursday, as we didn’t want any dips in the improvement. She is always in pain after things like this, and we needed a good rest of the week.

Pain-wise, she has survived on a 100ug patch for mid-week and a 125ug until today (no morphine tablets).

By the weekend, she back to her old self again, positive, being able to enjoy life and she even made my tea !! It was shite, but it was lovely to have it made for me. It wasn’t shite because of Karen by the way, it was just a poor piece of frozen food.

Friday, Adele saw an even more improved kp.

Saturday was a day I had been looking forward to, as it was our work’s golf day. Last time I was due to go, I had had to cancel as kp and I had had a “heated debate” about whether she was a “burden” or not. She had reminded me that the weekends were “her time”. But she was happy for me to go this time I had a whale of a time. I had pre-ordeded a buggy to get us round the Percy Wood Golf Course in Swarland, but it wasn’t there. Grrrr ! Had to walk the first 4 holes, until they brought the buggies to the hole. I played poorly, but enjoyed the day. I was playing with Nigel, and John and Ralph (from Sales). Nigel was more interested in taking photos of obscure things (with his new camera) or seeing if he could pull off a 360 wheel spin in the buggie than the golf, but it made for a very amusing day !

As a bonus, there was a gorgeous meal at the end of it. Bangers, huge yorkshire pud, chips, gravy and peas, washed down with a pint of lager

I was absolutely knackered at the end. Here is one of the obscure things that Nigel took a photo of.

Big Week this week. Actually tomorrow is the highlight (monday).

kp has her driving assessment to see if she can drive again !

All fingers crossed as this will REALLY change her life for the better if they say “Yes”. I dread what will happen if they say “No”.
