Progress...

Hi folks, still Dr. Vic here.

Kelly's had a better day today, a few less tablets through the night but that did result in more pain this morning (she wont be doing that again in a hurry, not a good move!)

The side effects of the pills are taking their toll - mainly with loss of appetite, drowsiness and worst of all, severe constipation. Dr. Vic is on the case and has been to see his doctor colleagues at our local GP and now Kelly has got more pills to take - this brings the total pills per day to 21 and that doesn't include the ones for all the other ailments she has. They say "it's for better or for worse" ....when does the better bit kick in??? :-) only kidding.

Kelly had a visit from her physio today, which cheered her up. She reassured Kelly about the pain in her leg and as always talked common sense, that is "Take it slow & listen to your body" they also discussed (once Kelly's surgeon gives her the green light to do so) the route to recovery which will commence with hydrotherapy, something Kelly is no stranger to, but it will mean going back to basics, for example just walking up and down in the pool.

Dad popped over today, which was nice gave me a chance to catch up on a number of things I had to do, like shopping, laundry, pick up more drugs, cooking, cleaning, and most of all play my drums, its all worth it and I know if the boot was on the other foot Kel would do the same for me.

That's all for now, Dr. Vic.
