Having to do this from my phone as we have no Internet.

A good week with up in the up and up !

Main issue now is sleep, but despite it still being to pot, she remains upbeat.

Monday,and Laura (one of the new supprt workers) attended to go for a drive with kp to be sure that kp felt safe with her.I sat in the back. There was absolutely no problem with her driving and kp felt very safe. It was my first opportunity to meet her, and she is just what kp needs, friendly, caring and should be a real asset.

Monday afternoon saw rachel (the OT) attend for a big catchup session.

Tuesday was Physio with Steve. A good session by all accounts and kp started doing some work on the cross-trainer kind of machines as well as beating her endurance record on the treadmill and bicycle. Well done kp.

Wednesday was the day off and she and Adele planned some future interior improvements.

Thursday, joanne (Physio) came to do the shoulder-loosening exercises/massage. There’s a big improvement on her left shoulder because of all joanne’s work, so that’s great.

Thursday afternoon and I took kp to see jane at the Lansdowne Clinic. A very good session with kp leaving very upbeat and with definite goals ahead which she is very pleased at. One of the things which was discussed was that Karen would like to to and see her friend in London (veronica aka vd). The idea would be that veronica and I would work together to make it as safe as possible. I would put her on the train and see her off and vd would be on the platform to greet her off the train. Kp mentioned this to jane and jane was understandably concerned that this is a big leap. To fill the gap while we wait for laura to start we have a new support worker that we can call upon from time to time so the current plan is to call upon her (michelle) to make the journey with kp. Another possibility is to do a joint trip to somewhere more local (like York) abdcwirkcupto Karen doing the London trip on her own. This would be fine as long as the train had no problems. But if there were any problems then kp would be in very vulnerable position which is best avoided.

Friday saw another Physio session and this time kp was trampolinig. Charlotte (ot assistant) came in the afternoon and helpedvkp put some curtains up. Syd the case manager came in the afternoon with a temporary support worker (michelle) for kp to meet. We had a good catchup with Syd who was pleased with how well kp was doing.

Saturday was the usual dog walk, tv catchup, pizza and the x factor.

Sunday (today) was a beautiful day and we had a lovely dog walk. Kp caught up with some sleep in the afternoon. Tonight we are going to see the Eva Cassidy Story at sunderland empire so that will be a nice change
