While I was up there I took out the sponge bars on my SK700 and my SK155 knitting machines. I have a tube for them so thought they would fare better in that than in the machines not being used.
My husband has had a couple of trips to the hospital in the past couple of weeks. His auto immune has flared right back up so he is pretty weak and tired all the time. Back again tomorrow to see the neurologist and see what's next.
Last week he went for a colonoscopy. He had one 6 years ago and they removed a lot of polyps some of which were andenomas which have the potential to turn into cancer if not removed. They recommended he have the procedure done every 5 years and we had been waiting for the appointment but none came so we chased it up and they arranged for it to be done last week.
Will spare the gruesome details, if you have had one you know about the prep and if you haven't then don't want to spoil it for you.
The prep didn't work, he has to go back again in a couple of weeks and prep for two days this time.
All that taken in to account, I don't think they will keep up the Rituximab regimen as one of the side effects could be cancer. We think they may resume plasmatheresis again but will know more tomorrow. I am a little worried that the Rituximab may have triggered the polyps to grow again but praying for it not to be the case.
Maggie is growing like a weed. She weighed in at 17.2lbs last week at 9 1/2 weeks. She is 10 weeks old today. Sometimes she is a handful as most puppies are. We are soldiering on, trying to instill into her what she can and can't do while she is still small as when she is fully grown she will be a very strong dog. She needs to learn now how to be gentle. Easier said than done sometimes lol.
She pesters the life out of poor Boris because she wants to play all the time outside. He is good for so much but she doesn't know when to stop.
We had to get her a bigger sleeping crate as she has just about outgrown the first one.
She is wonderful at night though. She will sleep through from 8.30pm to gone 6am which gives us a good night's sleep too.

Oh Maureen, my heart goes out to you DH had cancer and has been through all the horrors your poor husband and you are enduring. Hope the results are good
ReplyDeleteThank you, we hope the results are good too. The auto immune thing is bad enough without him having to fight anything else. Hope your husband is cancer free now. They can do so much more nowadays thankfully.
