I have to say I was not expecting so many interesting comments after my last post. If you haven't read them, do go back and see what Tim's Wife and Phil Brabbs have to say about their experience of the US system. I hadn't even considered that "health insurance" might not cover the cost of prescriptions - that is truly shocking!
Moving on... FL has almost got his groove back and has gone to golf today. He might only manage a couple of holes, but the psychological boost is immeasurable. All being well, we are going out to dinner tonight!
In the spirit of preparedness, he has been making enquiries about being buried at the farm. It is less complicated than I expected, though I hadn't thought about avoiding proximity to springs and long-term access rights to his grave, should I sell the farm at some point in the future.
But then this morning he started on a new train of thought: leaving his body to the Medical School for educational or research purposes. He was about to ring up Anatomy when he realised he was going to be late for golf - living still has the priority over dying around here! : )Oh - I got my hair cut! If you look closely you might see I have a slice of purple running through the front - woo hoo! At last! FL is pretending not to have noticed...
And yes, it is asymmetric. Hee hee hee!
Knitting:This weekend I must get on with my Andrea's Shawl. It would have been finished long ago if I had read the instructions properly. The centre decreases started veering off to the right because I wasn't concentrating.
Asymmetric shawl anyone? Nope. Ripped. Working my way back up again...

Love the hair, I too am fond of a slice of purple!! Glad your husband is getting back to his golf. xx
Wow - as usual with you! Wow for the comments on your wonderful last post; and for FL and you sensibly talking about what should happen 'afterwards'; and for your Hair! it's gorgeous; last but not least for ripping back such a lot of work. You do cheer up my day, thank you!
I think I may have gone off you despite loving looking at your knitting. I read Cindy asked... and now I'm confused. I'm waiting on a funding application to my primary care trust (PCT) for Plexafor but our private healthcare have said they could in theory provide it for short term use which is what it is anyway. After discussion with my haematolgy nurse I had thought I was being altruistic in pursuing the PCT funding because if I get it it means that someone else is more likely to get it and now I'm in a moral dilemmia and it's your fault because you put forward such a good argument. Am I instead saying that someone else with MM deserves treatment rather than the money being used for something else? Whereas I did think of it more like 'I'm alright Jack I can get it privately sod the rest of you' if I wouldn't wait for the funding rather than get it quicker from Aviva! xx
Forgot to say in the midst of my dilemmia that I like your hair. I wanted to go uneven but didn't have the bottle. So just went higher at the back than the front. I have however gone from hypnotic red to cyber purple all over.
