Whatever the weather outside (and it's vile), the last week has been "sunshine and showers" for us. The lurgy remained with us for a few more days, being particularly nasty to Diana, and its after effects are only slowly diminishing (such a frustrating cough!) - but the rain storm over the Carousel is clearing...
...to sunny spells. I was delighted my blood test late last week declared me "clear"of virus and bugs, or at least well enough for treatment this week. Sadly, there was no available chairs on Tuesday (as originally planned) so I have had to slip a full week, being infused on the "regular Thursday", albeit three weeks (not two) after the last treatment. But, as per my last posting, those extra days off did prove useful, and I am still feeling really well (if it wasn't for this blasted cough!) - and quite active too, enjoying walking again - particularly to a close friend's for tea!
And just 6 days now to the review of my SIRT scans...
PS:
Several of you (mostly overseas!) had not heard of the lurgy or lurgi (more exactly "the dreaded lurgy") - a mythical deadly illness, first discovered in the 1950's during a radio comedy show called "The Goons" - and said not to have killed a single trombonist (the only cure is to play a brass instrument). It is still a common phrase, refering to anything "nasty" like a bad cold or man-flu.
And "fillip" was new to some too - "a boost or stimulus"
