Now I’m not one to moan…

Posted on February 6, 2012 by feresaknit

well B may disagree and certainly would tell me that I don’t moan at the right time – from what he can remember anyway… but moving swiftly on. I’ve never had any complaints about treatment on the haematology ward and indeed have only praise and this h ...

Royal Holiday Day 3

Posted on February 4, 2012 by feresaknit

Day one of this cycle of DT-PACE finished 2.15 am this morning. With the dialysis only finishing at quarter to midnight on Thursday it was about one by the time it was hooked up. There was actually a slight discrepancy between the amount of one of the drugs on the prescripti ...

Everything’s coming up roses

Posted on February 2, 2012 by feresaknit

Yesterday’s knitting and crochet should have ended up looking like the rose tea cosy I made last year. And it did last night but not so much after I inadvertently put it in the washing machine this morning on a synthetics cycle. ‘I’ll just bob it in with th ...

B punished me for being bad

Posted on February 1, 2012 by feresaknit

He made me watch The Jeremy Kyle show while we ate our lunch!  How barbaric is that?  For those of you not familiar with this high brow presentation it’s kinda like a low brow version of Jerry Springer.  Seriously the people that appear on the show are so, um well, ...

COMPLETE REMISSION: Part One

Posted on January 28, 2012 by Lon Nesseler

I haven't blogged since late November, but it's not because I didn't want to catch you up on what has happened since then, but rather because I have been physically and mentally unable to do it. Instead, I went ahead with a lymphocyte infusion from a second donation from ...

Deja Vu DT-PACE

Posted on January 28, 2012 by feresaknit

Yesterday we went to our clinic appointment to find out how things were going. We bumped into Sean in the waiting area, which is always nice, along with a couple of ladies who also have myeloma. As it turned out the results of the bone marrow biopsy weren’t back but ot ...

Just a quick update for FL's fan club ; )He was back at the hospital for his monthly Haematology appointment today.Nothing to report re myeloma.

Me Bum’s Sore

Posted on January 22, 2012 by feresaknit

Okay not so much now but Wednesday and Thursday if I sat down without thinking about it and pressed up against a cushion in the wrong manner it made B jump. Not so much the sound of me actually hitting the cushion more the yelp I emitted. How come I had a sore rear end? Well ...

Steak and Kidneys

Posted on January 11, 2012 by feresaknit

‘How am I?’ Well, thank you for asking. I am just assuming some of you, or perhaps one or two, have been wondering how I’ve been getting on healthwise generally. In myself I have been so tired and a bit out of sorts. I think It has to do with getting up bef ...

Me Balls are too Big

Posted on December 31, 2011 by feresaknit

I thought it was about time we had a craft related post.  I’ll start with what I did while on my five week Royal-cation. I did 20 fancy crocheted squares – I had 63 to choose from in the booklet which was just as well as there were a number I undid, either beca ...

Happy Christmas

Posted on December 24, 2011 by feresaknit

Well I made it home by four o’clock. It’s obviously fantastic and was just wonderful to see Bud, who I think was pleased to see me too. I shan’t discuss the state of the back bedroom or the dining room table and part of the lounge actually but that’s ...

Christmas Tree Lights and Pet Flaps

Posted on December 23, 2011 by feresaknit

I’ve felt much better today possibly due in part to the good night’s sleep I had.  When the registrar, who had last seen me on Wednesday, came round she said I looked much better than then.  She said I can switch to oral antibiotics from today too which is good ...

B goes shopping

Posted on December 22, 2011 by feresaknit

On Tuesday as I was writing myself a little reminder B asked if I could do a food shopping list assuming I’d be home on Saturday. He leaned over to look at the paper and I said ‘I’ll write it down in a second when I’ve written this.’  Meaning I’d wri ...

Never mind the stockings

Bloody Jim Jams

Posted on December 20, 2011 by feresaknit

I know there was only Mike said yes but he said it a lot – sorry Margaret.  I have put it right at the bottom so that hopefully whatever the size of your browsing window it won’t jump out at you.  Then again you might be less than impressed.  I couldn’t ...

Trout Pout

Posted on December 19, 2011 by feresaknit

Tuesday I had some lovely visitors and these two called as well - just kidding Lorna and Mike were the lovely visitors along with my Auntie Ann and B of course.  B left the ward to walk the streets of Liverpool carrying that basket secure in his own masculinity.  I’ ...

Back to blogging

Posted on December 12, 2011 by feresaknit

Sorry I haven’t blogged, I’ve been feeling pretty good, as evidenced by the crocheting the previous week, making Christmas cards last week and now some knitting and a shiny new toy… well okay it’s not actually shiny it has a matt finish. Try as I mig ...

This is what happened…

Posted on November 29, 2011 by feresaknit

Last Monday morning I woke up at about seven went for a wee, got back in bed, got up roughly 45 minutes later with a midriff region pain. I didn’t really see B as he was going to bed but fortunately a friend had said she’d take me to the Royal as when I’d had platelets ...
