Much improved week. kp is back in the house !

Adele has started to come 3x a week now, which I am sure has helped. Her first day was Tuesday (cleaning day). kp’s sleep was still all to pot. She was so tired, but couldn’t sleep. She sometimes can’t find words (part of the stroke), but on Tuesday, even sentences were tricky, but I am sure it was down to the lack of sleep.

Wednesday, she had a nice day on her own. Thursday, Adele came to clean again, but kp was asleep a lot of the visit.

Friday, Adele came over and they both had arranged to have a day out. They went to the hairdressers, first time kp has been in 2 months. They then went on to do some shopping for furnishings for the lounge and the new bathrooms.

kp had a great time. It was so lovely to see her “on a high” when I got back from work. It was blood donor session on the evening, and I had booked an appointment to give blood and kp was coming along to see her old team mates. She really enjoyed seeing them and catching up on all the gossip, although she was very nervous before she went in. Debbie and Lydia were there full of their usual banter. It was planned for them to come over after the blood session for a chinwag, but they could see kp was shattered, and I made the decision that perhaps it was best to leave it until another day.

Just before we left, kp, Debs and Lydia were arranging a get together.

Lydia :- You should come round mine. It will do you good to get out of the house and you can stroke my pussy…………………..pussies (correcting herself)

Lots of laughter ensued. She has 2 beautiful persian-type cat things.

Saturday, kp was feeling great. We went over to visit each of the sisters. Adele was at Marie’s with Abbie and Louisa. They were all going to a wedding, and the girls looked great. Here are the 3 of them ……

On the way home, kp remarked how it was like “old times” which was nice.

Saturday night was a bit flat, but all because of tiredness.

Today has been great so far. We got up about 6am for a cup of tea and some tv, and then went back to bed until about 10.30am. We then took the dogs for a walk on the old railway line in Esh Winning. It’s pretty much all level. It was a gorgeous day and made for a lovely walk. Here are kp and the bitches……..

She insisted on taking one of me…….

It was probably at least a half mile that she walked, maybe even 3/4 of a mile, so I have no doubt she will pay the price tomorrow. The best bit was she thoroughly enjoyed it as did the dogs and I.

Generally, Karen has felt very guilty for not seeing friends/relatives etc, but her mood hasn’t been upto it. She is now keen to see everyone again (which can only be a good sign). So Pollard family, heads up that we may be visiting Lancashire soon !
