    Just finished a Hills and Harbour from Galloway, to one from the Cairngorms, botanicals include Reindeer Moss.
  • I recall that developing an interest in a stiff drink was a clear indication that a healthy recovery had begun.

    Oh Hills and Harbour is nice. Hope the reindeer moss one is up to scratch!

    Mr F goes into hospital 'for a week' on Monday, while they try him on Exciting New Drug. If he takes to it, it'll then be monthly treatments.

    I am mostly OK. Principal irritant is the dressing, but stuck with that for another fortnight. Almost finished course of antibiotics, which I will be glad of, as I feel they are slightly at war with all my other meds.

    Best wishes for Mr F. And coming off antibiotics is always something to celebrate.

    Hope the new drug and Mr F get on well. In the meantime glad you are nearly at the end of the antibiotics and here's to being able to rip off, or maybe gently remove the dressing @Firenze. Hope the gin supplies are holding out.

    Best wishes for the Exciting New Drug. Some of the new drugs do sound promising. And for better days ahead once you are off the antibiotics.

    What NEQ said - hope it all goes well.
  • May you both improve.

    My brother-in-law died of cancer on 29 Jan, three days after his 83rd birthday and before we could fly out to England to be with my sister and him. He had been diagnosed with cancer a month before. Secondaries had been found, but the primary never was. My sister told me that one day he woke up and said "Why am I still alive?"

    We found out that this is a busy time for funeral in the UK so it won't be held until mid-March. Both the Funeral Director and the crematorium are booked up before then.

    And our neighbour, whose youngest is five, is heading for a double mastectomy soon; and what is more worrying is that she has cancer in her pancreas.
