A brief touching-of-base to let you know that we're
here and more or less all right. My husband isn't well – a mump-like
swelling on his jaw, uncomfortable and debilitating. A dr came
yesterday (it's disconcerting when they're suddenly the age of your
grandchildren – he could have been Thomas-the-Elder). He thinks
it's an infected salivary gland (some gland, anyway) and has
prescribed a fairly stiff antibiotic. We'll see today whether there's
any progress.
Meanwhile much bad tamper and little
knitting.
So I failed to meet my seven-a-day
target for the scallops on the Unst Bridal Shawl edging. I did reach
the half-way point on the second side. That's something.
Ouch, hope your husband feels better soon and that the shawl continues along its progress
ReplyDeleteI hope the antibiotic is effective. Dealing with bad temper is always tough but really difficult on top of anxiety about a health issue. Hopefully both resolve soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed that a doctor comes to your house. House calls are unknown here. Hope normalcy is soon restored!
ReplyDeleteWishing your husband a speedy recovery and renewed peace for you.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to you both, to your husband a speedy recovery and to you relief from the stress of his illness
ReplyDeleteI've had that. It was worst when one had eaten, and would ache. It went as quickly as it came, however. Chin up, Jean: the days are getting longer.
ReplyDeleteI hope your husband has a quick recovery. My comment is identical to Ruth's above. I'm very impressed a doctor would make a house call. Those are a relic of history in Canada.
ReplyDeleteI do hope his recovery is quick. I wanted to add also a house call is unheard of here in michigan. What a luxury.
ReplyDeleteDoctors don't make house calls here either. Thinking of you both.
ReplyDeleteYes they do, Catdownunder. It's Home Visiting Doctor, 1300 372 968. They came to us one Sunday when DH had a vomiting migraine, gave him a shot of Maxolon and some advice for follow up. You can also ring 24 Hour Nurse who will refer you to a doctor or advise emergency treatment if needed
ReplyDelete24 Nurse is 1300 606 024. No affiliation with either other than satisfied customer!
ReplyDeleteHope your husband improves, Jean, my young son had that a while ago, uncomfortable, would a warm compress ease the pain?
Jannette, of Jannette's Rare Yarns, occasionally blogs about having one of those swollen salivary gland episodes. She sucks on a lemon, and it immediately drains! If you have a lemon in the house, your husband might try it.

Jean, you must check out the new Panopticon. It will have you chuckling and perhaps hysterical with laughter. If I can get them, you can get the Yo, Mamas at the end!
