Here I am, 1 week from the failed surgery, starting on my second week of leave before I return to work next week. My hand is less swollen than before,  which had the unfortunate effect that the splint kept falling off. I’ve been back to the hand physio who has adjusted it and I’ll see her again on Thursday ahead of the coming long weekend (Monday is anniversary day)

I had thought Monday would be the only disruption to next week but it’s not. As of this afternoon I have the new surgery date: Thursday 29th.

I’m so pleased, grateful we’re getting on with this quickly, and I have high hopes for the outcome.

It does, of course, mean I’m once again going to squeeze in only a few working hours before going on sick leave again, but this is the last foreseeable extended period of that.

My next cancer-related day away isn’t until mid-March, for the next CT scan.

On the home front, I’ve finished and blocked a knitted shawl. The drying process was sped up a bit by my ‘helpers’.

They swear they didn’t shed on it, nor pull any threads.
