Day 844 – 851. Monday 20th August to Monday 27th August 2007.
The low mood that I feared didn’t materialize, I am pleased to say.
Sleep seems to have been the major issue this week. She is just all over the place.
Adele came up for cleaning during the week and on one of the days brought the kids, which was nice for kp. kp is going to Prague this week with Jane and Ronnie. They leave tomorrow (Tuesday), and return on friday. In preparation for this, kp wanted to get her hair done and a spray tan, so Adele and her went for a pampering on Friday. On the night before the spray tan, she had booked me in for a shave and a defoliatiorisation (Something like that). Basically, it’s a pain in the arse. First I shave her legs and pits (nice !) and then I have to put this gel stuff on (that feels like it has sand in it), and then scrub her down. Well, I wasn’t doing it just right and a few words were said. Let’s call it a “heated debate”.
kp:- I hate having to ask you to do this.
Anyway, we got past that.
She was a bit down on the night time – mostly ‘cos of sleep or the lack of it. We chased the neuro-psychologist and she is going to speak to the rehab consultant about getting kp booked in at the Sleep clinic.
Saturday, we went for a lovely walk with the dogs. kp was a bit worse for wear by the end of it. She is upto 250ug patches every 3 days now, and the pain still gets through.
Sunday, we went to the cinema. I had bought 2 tickets to the Bourne Ultimatum. Really, I should have asked for 1 ticket for the Bourne Ultimatum and 1 comfy chair for a 2 hour sleep, because that’s what I got !
Poor kp. The chair got a bit uncomfy and kp said she was going for a lie-down in the car (15 minutes before the end).
Today, another bad night’s sleep for kp. She had an hour from 10pm to 11pm and has been up the rest of the night. She came to bed about 8.30am when I got up. She said she had been close to tears. The weird thing was she was falling asleep on the sofa watching “Big Brother on the couch”. But when, in the actual bed, she just couldn’t sleep, despite 2 x 20mg Tamazepam !
Poor cow.
Today, Ronnie and Jane are coming up ready for Prague tomorrow.
kp is sleeping at the moment. Hope she feels better when she wakes up.
