Sorry about silence — even from this silent outpost, where nothing can be said to happen. I wasn’t very well Thursday night, so I summoned a dr on Friday — terrified that I was sending myself back to the Western Infirmary with Susanna and her — their — television set. But they have employed a system called Hospital at Home and re-started a non-standard antibiotic I was having there. It seems to be working, at least somewhat. The daily capsule of it is administered in the evening. I’ll try to find out its name when I get today’s one.
I’ve resumed knitting. That’s something. At present count I”ve done 17 of the 21 scallops of the first edge of the shawl. There’s still time to finish in August.
Wordle: a thoroughly undistinguished five for me today. Everybody else had three or four except for Mark. He scored two. I kept going through my ill end-of-week, scoring fours. My “winning streak” was broken by FROZE on the 22nd. I’m back up to 8.
Thank you for posting. Here's hoping they have the sense to continue the antibiotic that works.
ReplyDeleteGood going on the scallops.
Very glad to hear you are back to knitting - an excellent sign. & also glad to hear you can be treated at "home" instead of having to go back to the hospital.
ReplyDeleteHow do non-knitters know they are sick enough to call the doc, I wonder?

Wordle in 6 for me today, and I gave up on FROZE. I wondered how you were, it's good news that you can stay at Cramond while you get the antibiotic instead of all the kerfuffle of hospital.
ReplyDeleteThank for blogging again
Dear Jean, so pleased to hear from you again. Do let us know how the Hospital at Home is going for you. It is happening in many regions; that instead of automatically plonking people in hospital, they stay at home and the necessary nurses or other health professionals visit them there. It can work very well. I do hope the people who come to you appreciate knitting. take care of yourself and best wishes.

I was about to send out a search party. Long distance paw pat from the Antipodes!
ReplyDeleteLike everyone else, so happy to see you back, Jean! Hope this antibiotic does the trick! I doubt anyone uses a starter word with a Z (zed) in it:). Chloe
ReplyDeleteGlad to 'see' you! And the meds must be helping since you are back at the scallops! When I was away from internet service I didn't get to do Wordle, at all, so fun to be back at it.
ReplyDeleteAlso glad you are back & that you are improving with the meds
ReplyDeleteRelieved you are back and knitting.
