Was yesterday.
FL had to go to the hospital without me, due to an inescapable work appointment, but we had been there so recently we thought he could cope. Which he did, although yet again he was kept waiting 4 hours for his Velcade infusion and got very grumpy. It sounds as if the nurses were prepared for him this time, offering tea / coffee/ biscuits to temper his ire. Oh dear!
We are once again in a state of snow, so FL has had to drive me to work (my car doors are frozen shut at the public road end of our farm track.) I just hope he has the energy to pick me up again tonight as it is "parents' night" for my daughter and my son has his first ever evening class in Life Drawing to boost his art portfolio. Lots of driving around for someone - and it can't be me if I am stranded in the city!
How is FL? Well, he is very tired, which is to be expected. He has devised a preventative laxative regime, so fingers crossed that will work out this month. He is feeling the cold acutely, so is bundled up in many many layers of clothing, as well as trying to keep the woodburner blazing 24/7. He is reluctant to undress in these temperatures so hasn't been showering very often and hasn't been applying his aqueous cream, so his skin is a mess of scaliness. Tsk!
Roll on springtime!

Ah, some good and some not so good. Hope you have the hot water bottles at the ready for when he does shower. Pity we can't be like the olden days and sew ourselves into our clothes, and not come out again until Spring, eh?!
I haven't checked your blog. Long time ago you've left notes on mine, helpful and such. I'd saved your blog but I rarely sit and read. You are a very talented knitter! I love the sweater!
I'm sorry FL is having a rough time. So far my MM is simmering. IF it begins to act up, I'm not sure what I will do. I just don't think I want to deal with side affects along with the affects of my spinal cord damage. Oh well...but anyway..I enjoyed reading a few of your entries...take care
Hmmmm...I typed a comment, seems I lost it. You commented long ago on my MM blog & I appreciated your support & help. I just NOW reviewed your blog & found it very interesting! I love your knitting! That sweater is darling!! Oh..and the marmalade sounds delicious!
I was sorry to hear FL having a bit of a rough time with the Velcade. I don't know what I'll do when the time comes for me to need treatment...I don't think I could handle any more side effects added to my spinal cord effects already!! Take care....look forward to more of your crafty things! :) Cindy
