How kind everyone is; thank you for your solicitous words. And @didyw my wife is now doing very well, especially in respect of the mouth cancer as her max fax surgeon recently said to her words never before said in respect of her other cancers ‘I think you’re cured’. In the evening, when a little tired, her speech slurs slightly but you would not really know. Breast cancer is also being held in abeyance which is excellent news plus the brain tumour remains static and the associated incidences of headaches is much reduced. Brain aneurysm #1 remains successfully coiled while brain aneurysm #2 is too small to treat. Basically that is good to hear because if it is growing it is unstable and thus very dangerous.
@SamBevington: reasons for you to celebrate. Hats off.
Yeah, and just beat OH on GK at Mastermind, look at me Ma, Top of the World 🌎 now for University Challenge, will give the Only Connectors a miss as I can't understand it
Evening all. Busy day today starting with some homework to prepare a patchwork class and a bag making class for today and next week. Early lunch so I could head off to Les Sables for a defibrillator class. 45 minutes of which 35 were general assessment of "victim" and how to rescuscitate and only 10 minutes on defib.
Turns out the defib only serves a backup to chest compressions and mouth to mouth and if you're on your own you can't use it cos leavng the non beating body to go and fetch it and set it up will lead to brain death or severe damage........ Chappy also said we had to do chest compression to the beat of "Staying Alive" and I was the only one who knew it. Two young chaps far too young and the other 7 my age but clearly resisted American "culture" and didn't watch Saturday Night Fever in their youf.
After that the patch class and then mosaic class which is 2 hours of just doing and no leading so very restful. Home at 8:30 to vegetarian ramen cooked by Possum.
@BenCotto - brave wife! Power to her elbow and everything else. Hope your cat is OK but if not, huge hugs. Know how you feel.
Well done @Busy-Lizzie. I'm looking forward to doing some cross country driving and exploring some time soon with OH but both have full diaries at the mo, for months.

Bencotto 💖. Obelixx,in the UK years ago you could buy a 2 way valve face mask,it was recommended we used for "rescue breath". ,Long before Covid,we were instructed,only do them on children or someone you know personally. The compressions would suffice,keep the blood circulating. You can't stop,and it's flaming exhausting!
